SARASOTA – Hosted by the Humane Society of Sarasota County, the annual festival provided live music from dozens of bands and singers.

A variety of dishes were available even for those who don’t like the fishy entrees. Nathan Hashway visiting from Massachusetts wanted to try out what the Suncoast seafood festival had to offer.

“What’s next, because we pretty much just started. We’ve already got stains on us, so now we just kind of go for it. Eat everything in sight, you know? Try a little bit of everything,” said Hashway.

The Humane Society also had their mobile adoption center on site.
