The Downbeach Seafood Festival

The highly anticipated Downbeach Seafood Festival returns for another year of delectable delights and foodie adventures. Save the dates for the 2023 edition of the festival, which will take place on Saturday, September 9th, from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Sunday, September 10th, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm on Ventnor's Ski Beach.
Hosted by Good Team Tricycle Productions, the Downbeach Seafood Festival will transform Ventnor's Ski Beach into a seafood lover's paradise. Featuring approximately 25+ local and regional seafood restaurants and purveyors, attendees can indulge in a wide array of seafaring dishes crafted by Atlantic County's finest chefs and restaurateurs.
With a focus on showcasing the vibrant culinary scene of the seaside community, the Downbeach Seafood Festival offers food enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore Atlantic County as a gastronomic destination. From clams to calamari, oysters to ahi, and even alligator, the festival promises a diverse range of seafood delicacies to satisfy every palate.
Beyond the tantalizing food options, the Downbeach Seafood Festival encourages visitors to discover the exceptional dining choices available along the Jersey Shore. Whether it's savoring the local cuisine, sampling Jersey-made craft beers, attending cooking demonstrations by renowned chefs, browsing unique exhibitors, or enjoying the beach atmosphere, attendees will be fully immersed in the festival's offerings.
Coinciding with National Hunger Action Month, a nationwide Feeding America campaign, the Downbeach Seafood Festival aims to make a positive impact by supporting the Community Food Bank of New Jersey through the popular Chowder Cook-Off. All proceeds from this cook-off will directly benefit the Food Bank, with a goal of raising over $5,000, equivalent to providing 15,000 meals across the Garden State. Festival-goers can participate in the Chowder Cook-Off, sampling chowders from Atlantic County's finest restaurants while supporting this worthy cause.

Exciting programming awaits attendees at the Downbeach Seafood Festival, including children's activities and art, live sand sculpting, live music performances, complimentary demos and seminars, The Great Brews of NJ Tasting Tent, a Crab Cake Eating Competition, and of course, the Chowder Cook-Off benefiting the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
