Visit Ocala Country Ventures at the Cortez Stone Crab & Music Festival!
After much thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to host the Cortez Stone Crab Festival this year. The aftermath of last year’s hurricanes brought significant challenges to our beloved historic village. Among the impacted was the Cortez Bait & Seafood office, which was flooded along with numerous other properties. In a community like Cortez, rich in heritage and protected as a historic district, permits, approvals, and construction projects are not only more complex but often take longer to complete.
