John\u2019s Pass Seafood Festival is back, once again turning Madeira Beach into the unofficial capital of Florida waterfront culture for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Fresh Gulf seafood, live music on multiple stages, arts and crafts vendors, and a packed schedule of family-friendly entertainment take over the John\u2019s Pass Village & Boardwalk.<\/p>\n

After a few years of winter and spring festivals, the return to its classic late-October date also means the return of its popular Halloween events. On Friday night, kids can trick-or-treat throughout the village, and Saturday night, adults can compete for cash prizes in their own costume contest at the 6-9 p.m. block party.<\/p>\n

There is no cover for the 44th Annual John\u2019s Pass Seafood Festival happening Friday-Sunday, Oct 24-26 in Madeira Beach.<\/a><\/p>\n
