W
hat a great weekend for
the 37th Annual Destin
Seafood Festival, held
along the beautiful Destin
Harbor. The Seafood Festival is the area’s
signature event and kicks off the month
long Destin Fishing Rodeo. The Fishing
Rodeo has been bringing anglers to the area
since 1948.
Live entertainment encompassed three
stages: AJ’s Game Stage, City of Destin
Stage and the HarborWalk Village Stage.
Along with our favorite local restaurants,
some of the best musicians on the coast
offered everything from country to rock.
There were activities along the harbor as
well, including rock climbing, ziplining and
even pony rides for the kids.
Now let’s talk food. You could fi nd
steamed crab legs, fresh tuna dip, fried
shrimp, barbecue and more.
Event Chairman Jami Jones, sponsors,
vendors and of course guests made this
year’s festival a huge success.

Festival’s Facebook page and website

Seafood Festival at: www.facebook.
