The Riverfest Seafood Festival is a FREE two-day community celebration of seafood, activities, live music and more.
Celebrate the coastal lifestyle and all things water at the 16th annual Riverfest Seafood Festival in Ormond Beach at Rockefeller Gardens and Fortunato Park.
From Saturday, November 15 - Sunday, November 16, 2025, take a bite out of freshly caught fish, sip on a craft beer as you sit and listen to live music, look at unique finds from talented local artisans and crafters, 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 the artisan marketplace to find unique, handmade treasures by local artists.
Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect in 2025:
A stellar lineup of live music to keep you entertained all weekend.
A seafood lover’s paradise with a variety of food vendors serving fresh, local favorites.
Unique finds from talented local artisans and crafters.
Free activities for the kiddos, from bounce houses and face painting to a petting zoo and more.
A beer garden with TVs to catch all the weekend’s big games.
