Florida's oldest maritime festival — oyster shucking, blessing of the fleet, Forgotten Coast oysters.
What you need to know
Florida Seafood Festival 2026 runs Nov 6–7, 2026, in Apalachicola, Florida. St. George Island State Park's campground is the beachfront base ~25 min away; it fills for the festival weekend, so reserve on ReserveAmerica well ahead.
Florida's oldest maritime festival closes out the season on the Forgotten Coast under the oaks of Apalachicola's Battery Park, on the first full weekend of November (Nov 6-7, 2026).
Oyster-shucking and oyster-eating contests, the Blessing of the Fleet, the Redfish Run and blue crab races anchor a genuinely working seafood town. It pairs perfectly with an RV week on this uncrowded stretch of the Panhandle: Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park has a beachfront campground about 25 minutes across the bridge, and November here is dry, mild, mosquito-thinned camping weather.
Safety rules and an insider tip
Safety + legal. Early November is the tail of Atlantic hurricane season — check the NHC tropical outlook the week before travel, and mind rip-current flags on the Gulf beaches.
