Held on Memorial Day weekend along the riverfront in Palatka, Florida, this annual festival features carnival rides, a seafood cook-off, live music, arts and crafts, a petting zoo, and more.

Harvested from both Florida coasts, blue crab can be prepared in multiple ways, from simply boiled and served with butter, added to gumbo, or marinated in a salad. Throughout this 3-day festival, visitors enjoy crabs, shrimp, scallops, and more.
