The Brandon ’86 Rotary Club will hold its 30th annual Brandon Seafood Festival, sponsored by Ferman Mazda, on Saturday, November 5th from 11 am to 3 pm at Rotary’s Camp Florida, located at 1915 Camp Florida Rd. in Brandon.
The cost to attend is $25 per adult with an advance ticket or $30 per adult at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted free with a paying adult and a donation of a canned product. The price includes all-you-can-eat seafood and drinks. The event will also have the ability to take pick-up orders this year to give everyone a chance to participate. All tickets can be ordered at the following link.
The Brandon Seafood Festival features southern fried fish, shrimp, hunks, coleslaw, hamburgers and hot dogs. There will be water, Gatorade and beer on hand to drink. In addition to the free buffet, families can enjoy music, games, bounce houses, musical chairs for the kids and more. Larry ‘Stretch’ Mott and DJ Crisolo will be on hand to entertain the crowd throughout the event with live music.
All proceeds from the event benefit international and local charities including the Outreach Clinic, ECHO, Everyday Blessings and Rotary’s Camp Florida. In 2019, the last year the event was held, the Brandon ’86 Rotary Club raised $10,000 for these charities.
“The Rotary Club of Brandon ’86 has been working hard to make this a great event full of fun and great food,” said Marlene Adkinson, Public Image Chair of the Rotary Club of Brandon ’86.
“This is our fundraising event that has raised money for the needs of local charities for over 25 years,” added Adkinson.
For those who want to become a sponsor, there are many sponsorship levels starting at just $100. For more information on becoming a sponsor or vendor, contact Chad Norgard at chad@norgardinsgrp.com or 813-454-5072.

“Rotary is about friendship, fellowship and community. We work together to solve local community problems, provide humanitarian aid and promote goodwill and peace.
