 SIESTA BEACH – Food, crafts, and great music fill the atmosphere of Siesta Beach. Paragon Festivals holds its 4th annual Seafood & Music Festival. 

Event director, Bill Kinney, says more than 10,000 people attend this event. It’s meant to stir economic growth and influx to vendors on the Suncoast. While guests have many foods and drinks to savor on the sand, they have options.

“We have every genre you can think of playing this weekend,” Bill Kinney said. “The food; we have everything Cioppino, grouper sandwiches, jambalaya, paella, I mean we have everything. So, come one down and have a great time.”

A visitor from New Jersey, Colleen Buckley, says she loves this event.

“This event is fantastic, we already bought several things,” Colleen Buckley said. “I wish we could attend something like this all the time. We’re coming back tomorrow.”

The event runs until tomorrow from 11 am-6 pm. General admission is $5, and children age 12 and younger are free.
