Live entertainment all weekend long — local bands, performances, and surprises in store. Numerous food vendors and food trucks serving seafood and festival favorites. Family-friendly fun, local artisans, makers, and community vendors.
Three days of waterfront views, good food, and even better company. Whether you’re coming from Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville, Daytona Beach, Atlanta, or Orlando, Palatka’s Blue Crab Festival is the perfect Florida weekend road trip — a celebration of community spirit, local flavor, and small-town pride.
