Florida Scallop, Music & Arts Festival

09/02/2025

The 2025 Florida Scallop, Music & Arts Festival was an unforgettable celebration of community spirit, fantastic flavors, and incredible music performances! Attendees indulged in a culinary feast with scallops, lobster rolls, kettle corn, Thai treats, and more, while arts and crafts offered unique treasures.

We would like extends heartfelt thanks to all our generous sponsors, and the City of Port St Joe and the parks and public works department for their unwavering support in creating a beautiful and secure setting.

Special recognition is owed to Rick Ott Performance and Production for their stellar stage and sound, and to the dedicated volunteers, including the Port St Joe High School Band of Gold, for their exceptional service. A round of applause goes to Aaron Little, Kayla Siprell, David Hughes, Sara Negri, Jane Dunn, Debbie Brumage, Tim Finney and many others for their hard work!
Last but not least a huge thank you to Kerry Capps for capturing all the amazing moments that made this year's event special and sharing his beautiful photos with us!

Thank you to all that came out to support the biggest fundraiser of the year benefitting the Gulf County Chamber of Commerce. We eagerly anticipate welcoming everyone back for another memorable festival on Labor Day weekend in 2026!
