We pride ourselves of creating a friendly fishing community! This FREE event is open to all competitors and non-competitors! Everyone is invited! There will also be giveaways throughout the day. For competitors, you may also pick up your participant credentials anytime during the event.

The second day is the TOURNAMENT DAY but BEACH FESTIVAL still continues. There will be music, local vendors and organizations available all day.
