Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival

About

Held in Cortez, the 44th annual Commercial Fishing Festival celebrates Florida's working waterfront heritage with live music, nautical arts and crafts, fresh seafood, and children's activities. All proceeds benefit FISH (the local nonprofit) and the FISH Preserve. Vendors share aisles with local artists while visitors explore the historic fishing village, bid on restored boats, and visit the Cortez Cultural Center and Florida Maritime Museum nearby.
