This is my favorite annual seafood festival. It never disappoints and I look forward to attending every year. The live entertainment and refreshing beers complement the yummy seafood. My top 3: lobster roll, raw oysters, and bacon scallop roll. There are so many vendors and food trucks to check out. The staff is very friendly. Shout out to Adrian, the tall Aussie who is so welcoming at the event! The atmosphere is always fun. Good food and good vibes all around.

We’ve been going to the RI Seafood Festival since its debut and try to attend yearly. What started out as a weekend with the wife has now lead to an event that has become a family affair with kids in tow. There is something for everyone and changes yearly, always improving. You can always expect great food, music, games, and beverages! An event not to miss in Providence. Look forward to the years ahead.

The best thing I can say about the RI Seafood festival is that as soon as I was home after it ended I couldn’t wait to go back! The food, drinks, atmosphere and everything else was amazing and the staff of each vendor and the folks who worked for the festival itself could not have been more friendly and welcoming. 10/10 couldn’t recommend more!
