2011 Mighty Mullet Maritime Festival

Featuring Family Fun, Mullet Cooking Demonstration  and music by Hot Tamale and the SARAH MAC BAND!!!!

 Saturday, October 29, 2011

The 6^th Annual Mighty Mullet Maritime Festival is coming up on Saturday, October 29, and it’s not to be missed!  Your kids can learn how to build a boat, watermen can show you how to gather oysters, and your wife can participate in a seafood cooking demonstration by Florida Governor’s Chef John Minas, and everyone will be entertained by folks strutting their costumes of beach objects during the infamous Mythical Maritime Masquerade. 

But wait, there’s more!   The fantastic Sarah Mac Band and Hot Tamale will be entertaining the crowd with their jazz, peppy blues, and acoustic rock.  Known as consummate entertainment professionals, they put their collective heart into every one of their foot-tapping, finger- snapping performances.

This action-packed day will have it all: the coronation of Ronald Fred and Eloise Crum as the 2011 Mullet King and Queen, plus maritime history re-enactors, displays and presentations, arts and crafts vendors, toe-tapping live music, and (for children) toy boat building, white boot races, live sea encounters, rides, and much more.  Be sure to come hungry, because mullet and all the rest of our great local seafood will be served up by some of the best Big Bend restaurants and food vendors.

The all-day Festival will begin at 10 a.m. at Panacea's Woolley Park, just off Coastal Highway 98 on Dickerson Bay. Parking is free and admission is only $3 per person and free for children 12 and under.

Don't Miss All The Fun!
