How it all began...
The Pittsburg Seafood Festival began in September 1984 in the historic New York Landing District. Thirty three years ago, the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce along with many dedicated volunteers hosted the very first Pittsburg Seafood Festival. The year was 1984, and their hope was to draw a few hundred visitors to enjoy seafood and visit our wonderful city. Well, let’s just say that first festival drew a few thousand more than expected. Since that time, it has grown to become one of Contra Costa County’s largest family events and is now recognized as one of the best festivals in Northern California!
