Information from ParagonArtEvents.com

The Sarasota Seafood & Music Festival returns for its sixth year. Bring along your family and friends to enjoy fresh seafood and outstanding live musical performances. The event begins Friday night January 14 with festivities running from 4 pm to 10 pm. The event continues Saturday from 11 am to 10 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. The event, hosted by the Downtown Sarasota Enrichment Association, offers a diverse menu of foods cooked fresh on site. Seafood items are prepared using only the freshest local and sustainable ocean resources from the Florida Gulf Coast. Meat and vegetarian offerings also are on the menu, along with a variety of side dishes and of course - tantalizing desserts! Alcoholic, non-alcoholic and fruit drinks are available along with a selection of sodas and bottled water. In the breaks between performances, explore shopping in a marketplace of fine arts, crafts, and select fine products and food items. While savoring your meal, relax to some of Florida’s top musical groups from genres such as R&B, blues, jazz, rock and Caribbean sounds. Performers in 2020 were: Dr. Dave Band (classic rock, country, bluegrass), JP Soars & The Red Hots (soul, blues) and Black Honkeys (rock, soul), The Whole Band featuring Callie Chappell (Americana, rock, variety), the Billy Rice Band (country rock), Twinkle & Rock Soul Radio (rock, soul), The Verge (classic rock 70’s to present) and 22N (rock, funk, variety), Big Night Out (dance, rock, alternative), Kettle of Fish (rock, blues, reggae), and Fleetwood Max (Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band).
