August 6-8, boosters in the Port St. Joseph area of Florida (in the Northwestern Panhandle) want you to know that the Florida Scallop & Music Festival has been revived.
The annual celebration, formerly known as St. Joseph Bay Scallop Festival, features music, the ocean's bounty, arts and crafts, all on the waterfront for the weekend at Shipyard Cove.
A Patron Dinner features feasts from James Beard award-winning chefs Louis Osteen, Martha Foose and others.
We're told there are plenty of scallops for festival goers and much merchandise and music with a local flavor.
