Uhhmmm, the “Promoter” shifted from Jack Bishop to CJ Ryan—Jack’s adopted son.  Both of whom have made so many enemies on the Beach that those of us who remember the REAL Indian Summer Seafood Festival wouldn’t take the time or drop a dime to see the (lack of) entertainment.  Get Billy Still back in the loop for next year, get the Mom and Pop booths back on the midway, the FSU Flying Circus and all the things that made the Seafood Festival the yearly event where you ran into friends you hadn’t seen since the previous years festival.  Oh, and what is this “Wine” thing?  I would submit that an Oktoberfest type of festival would generate more revenue, fill more hotel rooms and restore the true spirit of the shoulder season event for Panama City Beach. CVB and TDC, you got snowed by some of the best BS artists on the Beach, and there ain’t no way you were uninformed!

Who ever decided to promote this kind of event was on the space ride at the time.Who in this area cares about paying $10 to Park $20 ticket? SurfSlayer is correct WHAT A JOKE Beside all that what good reason would a family have to visit here in the first place?

What a joke. The Festival sucks, is overpriced, and we could really care less about Kazoo bands and crappy, 5$ a shot space rides.The food is average, basic “Carny” garbage, and a 10$ philly sandwich is ridiculous.Trying to get 20$ at the gate, plus 10$ parking didn’t work. There were 20 people at the festival. Another fine job by the TDC!
