2025 Sarasota Shell Show
The 2025 Sarasota Shell Show was on Friday, February 7 and Saturday, February 8 at the Potter Building at the Sarasota Fairgrounds, 2896 Ringling Boulevard, Sarasota, FL.
The Shell Show offered a great way to learn about seashells and the critters that created and inhabited them, plus view unique shell art and learn from scientific exhibits. Visitors enjoyed a variety of vendors who displayed and sold common, exotic and rare shells, rocks and minerals; shell-inspired jewelry; clothing; shell crafts and art; and more. There was a raffle for shells and coastal-inspired prizes.
The shell show was a lot of fun! Guests received a free bag of shells with their $5 paid admission fee.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days
Entry donation: Adults: $5
Students ages 12-18: $3
