Palm Beach Marine Flea Market and Seafood Festival — Local services in Loxahatchee Groves

If I could give this event a minus 0 stars I would! Let's start with the tickets. I paid $10 each online + $2.50 each processing fee only to find out that I could have paid $10 at the entrance with no processing fee!! This event was described as, and I am quoting, "a seafood enthusiast’s dream come true. Rounding out this family oriented event, nautical vendors will offer unique merchandise and services, artists and craftsmen will display and sell their original works, [and there will be] live music...A SEAFOOD ENTHUSIASTS DREAM?" More like a nightmare of 2-bit vendors selling $22 lobster rolls and Empanadas and $10 smoothies." NAUTICAL VENDORS/ARTISTS selling UNIQUE MERCHANDISE of ugly crafts, an insult to quality artists. LIVE MUSIC of loud and screeching noise! To top it all off, this event took place outdoors in the middle of the hottest summer in history with little shade and no place to sit except a small and uninviting area with a few picnic tables! On top of it all, I asked about the flea market at the entrance. The incredibly rude man said he didn't know anything about a flea market. He said he was there for the lobster festival only. SHAMEFUL...

Advertises itself as a seafood festival online but it’s just a nautical themed flea market with a handful of food stands and only a couple actually served seafood. More flea market than food, waste of money to get in if you wanted more of what...
