The 4th Annual Ocean Reef Beach Festival is once again coming to Pelican Beach Park in Satellite Beach on December 5th, 2015. The festival is a one-of-a-kind event that celebrates every facet of our coastal lifestyle; surfing, fishing, beachcombing, ecotourism on our reef, kayaking, paddle boarding and bird watching, just to name a few, because so many of us do all these things on our unique stretch of coastline. The event has grown to include over 70 vendors and exhibitors, and will fill the giant beachside park.

Plan to come and experience the combination of music, food, live entertainment, vendor displays, artwork, and free professional training and educational activities.

This year’s festival also features the Inaugural Ocean-Reef-Beach (ORB) Video Contest and Exhibition. To view and judge the videos, and learn more about ocean, reef and beach lifestyle cinematography, visit the clubhouse at the north end of the park. For more information on how you can enter your film into this contest please go to https://www.ticketriver.com/event/15985 

Be sure not to miss the crowd pleasing “Slow Down, Chow Down” Chowder Cook-Off and take advantage of an opportunity to taste the best chowders in town and be the judge of this year’s Chowder Cook-Off all at the same time! Chowder Cook-Off tasting runs from 11:00 am – 1:30 pm, with the winner announced at 2 pm.  To learn how your organization can compete in this year’s “Slow Down, Chow Down” Chowder Cook-Off please contact Heather Sears at 321-474-8202.

This community-minded event is a cooperative venture of PureOceanTV.com, the Surfrider Foundation, and Anglers for Conservation. Our goal is to teach everyone about the dynamic, living environment of the ocean, reef and beach, while celebrating the recreational opportunities afforded by this unique stretch of coastline.

Mark your calendar and tell your friends about this awesome opportunity to learn more about our unique living coastline!
