St. Marks Stone Crab Festival
The stone crab season opens in October, and
the Saint Marks Stone Crab Festival celebrates the occasion. Begun in 1997 by
the owners of the Riverside Cafe as a local excuse to party, the event has grown
into a community wide project with many sponsors, and with the proceeds going to
charity.
Obviously the big draw of the day is the stone crab, served a number of
different ways. Numerous food vendors are present, along with arts and crafts
booths, educational displays, and children's activities.
After opening ceremonies, live on-stage music is non-stop all afternoon. A very
small fee is charged for admission, parking is free and shuttle service is
provided at no charge. No pets are allowed ... and no smoking is allowed.
