2023 Seafood and Spirits Festival

The Port of Garibaldi Seafood and Spirits Festival will take place from September 8 -10 at our event tent venue overlooking the marina, the hills of Tillamook County and the beautiful Tillamook Bay.

This inaugural event will bring a fresh spin to the popular Seafood and Wine festivals that take place in Oregon each year.

We created our event with the vision to educate, bring awareness, and highlight the abundance of fresh seafood in our local community.

This 3-day event will be an immersive experience where our guests can not only sample Oregon spirits, but also taste fresh local seafood including oysters, seaweed and mussels. Come one day or all three!

We will feature 15 local Oregon distilleries, wineries and breweries who will be selling samples, glasses and/or bottles of their products. There will be over 30 other seafood centric vendors selling their food, art, products, and wares.

Our main stage will have live musical performances by Chad Rupp and the Sugar Roots, NE Day Now, Mercury Coast, North County Blues, Katelyn Convery Band, Scott Casey and the Unsung Heroes, Ronni Kay and Lauren Sheehan & Great Auntie Lo Band.


The event will also be jam packed with live music, educational demonstrations and sampling by local seafood. Come sample delicious seafood and spirits, learn how to crack and clean a crab, filet a fish, shuck an oyster, incorporate mussels and seaweed into a meal and much more!
