Retail Exhibitors

The Hilton Head Island Seafood Festival is a week-long event with unparalleled culinary experiences and cutting-edge brand activations with highly targeted attendees, renowned chefs, winemakers and spirit experts. Retailers and artisans can put their brand in direct contact with an audience of 8,000+ affluent consumers and industry decision-makers.

The David M. Carmines Memorial Foundation was established by The Carmines family with a mission to serve the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton community while honoring their son. Through our annual Hilton Head Island Seafood Festival, we work to make a difference in our home and pay tribute to those who have come before us - while sharing some of the best seafood on the Island! Each and every ticket we sell helps to provide funds for non-profits that benefit our beloved Lowcountry, offer meaningful experiences rooted in Southern hospitality, and bring people together with a shared love of seafood. We are proud and humbled to be part of this vibrant community; giving back has never tasted better!
