The St. Petersburg Seafood and Music Festival is back for another year of good eats, live entertainment and family-friendly fun.

Co-hosted by the City of St. Petersburg, 2023’s rendition runs from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 24,  11 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25 and  11 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26.

Although the festival itself is free to attend, its local food vendors will be peddling their specialty dishes at a cost, of course.

Although children are welcome to attend next weekend’s festival, only service dogs will be permitted.

The festival’s music lineup includes local bands like K-Luv and United Funk Foundation, Dr. Dave, 22N, Paisley Craze, Gas House Gorilla, Mixed Signal Band, The Black Honkeys, Stormbringer, Sarasota Steel Pan Band, YaYa Diamond Band and No Filter.
