The 36th Annual Hampton Beach Seafood Festival has come to a close for Friday, and what an opening day! Visitors enjoyed Mica’s Grovetrain and the Tim Parent Band on the Cabana Stage, JC & The Elvis Experience at the Seashell, and the debut of Pearls & Pours in the Culinary Tent. The evening brought Being Petty and the Scott Brown Band to the stage, along with the announcement of our annual Food Vendor Award winners. Thank you for starting the weekend with us—and a special thank you to our presenting sponsor, M&T Bank—get ready for a jam-packed Saturday!
