What you need to know
The Grant Seafood Festival calls itself the longest continuously running seafood festival on Florida's east coast, put on entirely by volunteers in the tiny Space Coast fishing village of Grant-Valkaria since 1966 (the 2026 edition was the 59th annual, March 7-8). 2027 is not yet officially dated — plan the late-February-to-first-March-weekend pattern, roughly March 6-7, 2027. Admission is free and the food money funds local scholarships. It's an easy add to a Space Coast RV trip: Sebastian Inlet State Park is about 15 minutes south, and Long Point Park (a Brevard County campground at Sebastian Inlet) sits even closer on the lagoon.

Long Point Park (Brevard County) and Sebastian Inlet State Park are both ~15 min south on the Indian River Lagoon — the lagoon-side sites are the calm, close RV base for a no-frills-but-beloved local festival.
