Cedar Key was abuzz this past weekend as thousands of visitors flooded the island for its 43rd Annual Seafood Festival. Throngs of visitors dined on various seafood delicacies, enjoyed the town’s colorful, lighthearted parade, visited the Seahorse Key light station and perused the many craft-filled tents lining the street. For more scenes from the festival, check the MULTIMEDIA portion of the Beacon homepage.

Tuesday, Oct. 16, is the deadline for work to be delivered to the Cedar Key Arts Center on Second Street for its upcoming show. The open media show will be the first community wide event of the season. Any media is accepted and prizes will be awarded.

There will be a Fall Festival in the Park brought to you by some of the Cedar Key area churches and businesses on Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 4-7 p.m. Fun in the form of candy, games, prizes and food (hot dogs, drinks and chips) will be provided. Costumes are not required for children to attend the event, but, if worn, they should not be scary nor should they be suggestive.
