Riverfest Seafood Festival

The third weekend in November is when we celebrate the coastal lifestyle and all things water at the 14th annual Riverfest Seafood Festival. Take a bite out of freshly caught fish; let the little ones participate in the annual kid fish clinic; sip on a craft beer as you sit and listen to live music, and more. There will be good food, great memories and riverfront fun.

This Ormond Beach tradition is about so much more than food. Held right along Ormond’s sparkling riverfront, the event features all-day activities including an expanded Kids' area, where little adventurers can let their imaginations run wild with interactive games to creative crafts.

Riverfest is more than just a food festival—it’s a community celebration right on the riverfront. Families can enjoy free kid’s activities like bounce houses, a petting zoo, pony rides, balloon art, face painting, and crafts from local organizations. Stroll through our artisan marketplace to find unique, handmade treasures by local artists.
