Panama City Beach Seafood & Music Festival
Held each October along the waterfront, this two-day festival draws tens of thousands of visitors to the Gulf for fresh-caught seafood, cold drinks, and live music across multiple stages. Local vendors serve everything from boiled shrimp and crab legs to grilled grouper sandwiches, while regional and national acts keep the crowd going well into the evening.
The festival grounds sit right on the beach, about a 5-minute drive from the property. Parking fills up fast, so plan to arrive early or grab a rideshare. Admission is free; food and drinks are pay-as-you-go.
What to Expect
- Fresh Gulf seafood from local fishermen and restaurants
- Live music on two stages — country, blues, and beach rock
- Craft vendors and local artisans
- Family-friendly with a dedicated kids' area
- Runs Friday evening through Sunday afternoon
Getting There
About 5 minutes by car from the property. Street parking is limited — the municipal lot on Front Beach Road is your best bet, or drop off and walk in from the side streets.
