About this happenin
Each November, Madeira Beach hands its waterfront over to the Old Salt Fall King of the Beach, a king mackerel tournament with a three-night festival wrapped around it. Hundreds of boats chase kings and Spanish mackerel offshore, then run back to the Madeira Beach Recreation Complex, where the scales and a crown wait on stage. Onshore it plays as a small county fair with a saltwater accent: live reggae and rock bands, a kids zone, carnival games, a mullet toss, axe throwing, a cast net competition, local food vendors, beer, boat displays from area dealers, and fireworks on Saturday night. Know before you go: gates open at 5pm on the first two evenings and the music runs to about 9. Saturday starts mid afternoon and stays open until 10, with the weigh-in and the crowning of the King the reason to be there. Old Salt posts a festival parking map for the complex, and teams register in advance through the foundation's site.
