Naples Stone Crab Festival

Dates: October 24–26, 2025
Location: Tin City, 1200 Fifth Ave. S, Naples, FL 

As autumn unfolds along Florida’s coast, Tin City’s waterfront transforms into a festive hub for seafood lovers and culture seekers alike. The Stone Crab Festival marks the ceremonial opening of stone crab season, complete with the ritual “cracking” of the first claw to officially kick off the celebrations.

Over three days, festivalgoers can enjoy:

• Live music performances (including rock by bands like Soapy Tuna) 

• Over 20 vendor booths showcasing local crafts, seafood specialties, and artisan goods

• Scenic boat tours along the Gordon River and Naples Bay that highlight Florida’s coastal beauty

Whether you’re a longtime fan of stone crab or just looking for a weekend by the water with good food and atmosphere, the festival offers a festive and flavorful introduction to the season.
