Musical acts announced for 2019 Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival

It's been a tough year for commercial fishermen in the Manatee-Sarasota area, with red tide impacting local fisheries and causing fear of fish consumption. Come out and support our local fisherfolk at this fun annual festival, which has the theme "Changing Tides". The location is 4415 119th St. W., 34209, in the Village of Cortez. As always, there will be good fun, good seafood, and good music.
