The 47th annual Florida Seafood festival will be held next Friday and Saturday in Apalachicola, and the festival would like to make sure there are plenty of boats in this year’s blessing of the fleet.
Historically the blessing of the fleet was only for commercial fishing boats to insure good fishing and good health, but now the event also includes recreational boats.
Locally, the Blessing of the Fleet is held every year in conjunction with the Florida Seafood Festival – this year it will be held on Friday, November the 5th at 4PM.
Organizers are hoping for a good turnout this year, so if you own a boat, especially a commercial fishing boat, do make plans to be in the parade.
To take part, you just need to have your boat just off battery park south of the Apalachicola by 3 o’clock next Friday afternoon.
Boats that take part get pennants and boat decorations compliments of the Seafood Festival.
