Like many annual events planned for the islands, this year’s shell festival typically put on and coordinated by three different groups is going to look a little different due to the pandemic.
During a normal year, the Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club, Sanibel Community Association and Shell Crafters partner to put on the popular Annual Sanibel Shell Festival at The Community House. There is a juried show inside with artistic and scientific entries, plus an author’s table, shell ID assistance, games and more. Outside, attendees can purchase an array of shells, shell critters, shell jewelry and such.
