St. Marks Stone Crab Festival

With nearly 20 years of history in Wakulla County, the St. Marks Stone Crab Festival — which was founded by the owners of St. Marks’ Riverside Cafe — brings thousands of crab-lovers from far and wide to the tiny fishing village of St. Marks once a year for a celebration of these seasonal treats. The festivals signal the opening of the Wakulla County’s stone crab season, which begins in October and ends in May. The event is full of local vendors and arts and crafts dealers, and guests will be treated to live music all day.
