Bodega Bay Fish Fest
Booths
Our Festival, affectionately referred to as ”Fish Fest” is a non profit volunteer run project of this local community, their relatives and many friends who generously give of their time and talents, to assist in making this two days of fun for everyone. Proceeds from “Fish Fest” provide support for the local community in the form of funds for the local schools, scholarships for local students, as well as on-going support of community services. Non profit organizations providing volunteers for the Festival also receive a share of the profits. One of the highlights of “Fish Fest” continues to be the Parade of Boats and “Blessing of the Fishing Fleet” on Sunday morning.
An entrance fee for Festival attendees will be charged again this year; Adults $10.00, Seniors (65 and older) $8.00, Children under 12 and pets, free.
We promote “Fish Fest” on radio stations, in newspapers and magazines throughout Northern California. Locally we utilize roadside signs, postcards, and flyers placed in surrounding locations. “Fish Fest” is a 37-year tradition in Bodega Bay and many people return each year just because they’ve been before and it’s FUN!
In addition to the Craft Show, we strive to provide outstanding entertainment. All the food offered is locally prepared. We do not accept any outside food vendors or food products.

We are looking for unique and traditional crafts. The jury selects the most appealing/best/innovative/ crafts and strives to maintain a balance of various crafts. Frequently some very good work must be passed by to maintain this balance. We look for quality in a crafter’s product, and will not accept less simply to fill booth spaces.
LOCATION: “Fish Fest” is held on a paved area adjacent to the beautiful Bodega Bay Harbor. This is an outdoor show and is subject to strong winds (sometimes 35 plus mph) and rain. If selected, you MUST come prepared with weights or tie-downs for your booth. A broom, in the event of rain, is advisable. We always hope for the best but Mother Nature has a mind of her own! YOU must be prepared in the event of adverse weather conditions. We DO NOT refund your fee if the weather is bad!
