Stone crab and swamp country — a three-day fish-camp town's biggest weekend, officially Feb 19-21, 2027.
What you need to know
Everglades Seafood Festival 2027 runs Feb 19–21, 2027, in Everglades City, Florida. Collier-Seminole State Park (~15 min north on US-41) is the nearest RV base; February is peak dry-season demand, so book the site before you book anything else.
In the fishing hamlet of Everglades City, the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands, the Everglades Seafood Festival is the whole town's weekend: stone crab and gulf shrimp straight off the boats, live country music, a carnival and crafts along Copeland Avenue, officially set for February 19-21, 2027. It is a natural RV destination in peak Everglades dry season — Collier-Seminole State Park has an RV campground about 15 minutes north on US-41, and the same trip pairs with airboat country, the Big Cypress boardwalks and the Wilderness Waterway. This is genuine backcountry Florida, not a theme-park version of it.
Attendance: ~30,000-40,000 over three days (organizer-reported)
Safety rules and an insider tip
