Third West set to be the Saturday Afternoon Showcase venue for Seafest


Shortly after 1 PM once the last participant from the parade has passed by Northern Savings at First and Third Avenue West, the city's main commercial thoroughfare will be transformed into the host venue for a wide number of the many Seafest Events that make for the Saturday afternoon program.

From a SoapBox derby to Land Boat racing, Face-painting, Selfies and the always popular Quck and Daring construction work, the list of events offers much to check out for the focal point of Seafest Saturday.


Along with the events ones the food, the highlight of every Seafest the expansive menu options to tempt the taste buds of festival goers, with vendors setting up along the central stretch of the Third Avenue Corridor from Seventh Street to First.

The full listing of Seafest Saturday Events for Third Avenue  can be reviewed here.
