Marathon Seafood Festival

Get ready to crack open a clawsome time at the Original Marathon Seafood Festival, the second-largest event in the Florida Keys where local fishermen catch, cook, and serve up a staggering amount of deliciousness. Bring your appetite to Marathon Community Park to devour over two thousand pounds of fresh Florida spiny lobster, heaping plates of stone crab, and savory conch fritters that will have your taste buds dancing. This family-friendly, two-day extravaganza isn’t just about gorging on sea-to-fork delicacies; it features a packed lineup of live music, more than two hundred vendors selling coastal crafts, and an action-packed kids area with rock climbing and bungee jumping. Throw in a boat show, local craft brews, and freshly baked Key Lime pies made by the fishermen’s spouses, and you have the ultimate weekend getaway that perfectly blends mouthwatering eats with unforgettable island entertainment.
