Florida Seafood Festival Carnival to Run for 4 days in 2016
The Florida Seafood Festival Board of Directors is proud to welcome the newest member of our Festival family Modern Midways .
special this year not only some great rides but new hours as well. Thursday 11/3 from 6-11 all day Friday 11/4 and Saturday 11/5 and part of the day on Sunday 11/6 the Carnival area will be open to the public. We want to thank all our loyal patrons for understanding that last year was a blip on the radar we would like to soon forget, even though it wa…s out of our control and we did the absolute best we could to get what we had in such short notice last year. The board went to great lengths to make up for last year and with the help of the great staff at Modern Midway’s the 53rd annual Florida Seafood Festival Carnival will not only be bigger and better than last year and have more days of availability but just might be the best show ever.
Just the Carnival area will be open on Thursday and Sunday. The Festival is still only open Friday and Saturday
