Seafood, Sun, & Seaworthy Art

If your summer plans don’t include seafood by the water, are you even doing Florida right?

On June 7–8, Fort Pierce is throwing a waterfront bash with everything from buttery lobster rolls to marine wildlife art—and that’s just the start. There’s a reason locals keep coming back for this one, and it’s not just the shrimp skewers or the 2-for-1 ticket deal.

Where Coastal Flavor Meets Creative Flair

The Treasure Coast Seafood & Marine Wildlife Art Festival returns to Causeway Cove Marina, bringing together Florida’s saltier passions in one open-air celebration. From 9 AM to 5 PM each day, guests can snack their way through the best of local seafood, explore one-of-a-kind coastal crafts, and soak up waterfront views with a drink in hand. It’s a little art fair, a little boat show, a lot of good food—and totally Florida!

Event Highlights On the Hook:

• Fresh seafood: Lobster rolls, crab cakes, conch fritters, fish tacos, and more—served hot and straight from the coast.
• Marine and wildlife art: From hand-carved pelicans to watercolor manatees, artists showcase work that feels as breezy and beachy as the setting.
• Local vendors: Shop nautical-themed jewelry, home decor, fishing gear, apparel, and other ocean-inspired finds.
• Family fun: Bring the kids for a fishing tournament, meet-the-artist moments, and waterfront entertainment.
• Live music: Coastal tunes and laid-back performances keep the vibe festive without overpowering the scene.
• Affordable access: Tickets are just $7, with kids under 12 free and 2-for-1 deals available online.

The location—Causeway Cove Marina on Hutchinson Island—makes the experience even better. With the Indian River Lagoon on one side and the Atlantic just a bridge away, you’ll get serious weekend-getaway energy without the crowds or chaos of bigger tourist hubs. There’s plenty of parking, shady spots to rest, and enough space to browse without bumping elbows.
