The Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival celebrates our fishing heritage with a mix of great live music, nautical arts and crafts, children’s activities, environmental exhibits, delicious seafood, and, of course, cold beer! It’s a party with a purpose, since ALL proceeds benefit the FISH mission and the FISH Preserve! Fill up, Boogie down, and stroll our aisles of local artists and vendors. Visitors can bid on boats lovingly restored by the FISH Boatworks, wander one of the last true working waterfronts in the state, and immerse themselves in local history at the Cortez Cultural Center and Florida Maritime Museum.
