Despite the diminutive stature of crustaceans, they were the giant-sized focus at the three-day ShrimpFest & Craft Brew Hullabaloo held at Sebastian’s Riverview Park. A caravan of food trucks served grilled, fried, sautéed and marinated shrimp, and even ‘Shrimpritos,’ po-boys and ceviche, plus options for those not inclined toward seafaring creatures. Additionally, Sebastian River High School culinary students helped prepare and served up shrimp boil, shrimp pizza and shrimp on the barbie at the ‘Rotary Restaurant.’

And on the Craft Brew Hullabaloo side of things, folks enjoyed sipping on 20 Florida craft beer varieties. Throughout the weekend, attendees perused vendor booths or just sat in the park listening to the live musical entertainment. Proceeds from the festival, hosted by the Rotary Club of Sebastian and the City of Sebastian, support youth sports and charities throughout North Indian River County.
