Waaaay back in 1997, around the time I started cycling for fun and exercise, a little festival popped up in St. Marks called the St. Marks Stone Crab Festival. And I never could attend in those early days because it always seemed to fall on the same day as Capital City Cyclist's Spaghetti 100 ride or it ran into the now defunct Tallahassee Celtic/Highland Festival.
This year, the Spaghetti 100 is on November 9th, 2019, and the St. Marks Stone Crab Festival is on October 26, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. down the road in St. Marks. The perfect combination of "work it off" so you can enjoy "maybe just one more".
~Today the festival hosts thousands of visitors and provides a venue for local musicians and artisans. In addition to the great food and music, attractions include a parade, children’s activities, educational displays, and dozens of vendors. The main event is, of course, Stone Crab. Come and enjoy the day with us.
The St. Marks Stone Crab Festival, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) operated by a group of volunteers. Proceeds from the festival are given as charitable donations to organizations in St. Marks and the surrounding area. ~
