The Hudson Seafest continues today through Sunday, with music, a fishing tournament, carnival, arts, crafts and, of course, the famous Seafest Grouper Dinner.
Headlining the entertainment roster is singer Bertie Higgins, whose mellow Key Largo hit the top of the charts in 1981. Since then, Higgins has recorded Casablanca, Just Another Day in Paradise and Pirates and Poets, plus others. He and the Band of Pirates will perform at 9 p.m. Saturday.
The carnival is billed as the largest the Seafest has ever had and will have games with prizes for all ages.
At last year's Seafest, the cooks sold more than a ton of fried grouper, as well as sizable amounts of bourbon chicken and fried gator tail.
