CORTEZ — It’s a festival that continues to net a larger crowd each year.
The Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival began 28 years ago as a way to teach the community about commercial fishing, said Roger Allen, director of Cortez-based Florida Institute for Saltwater Heritage, or FISH.
“This village really is a special place and commercial fishing is an industry that puts food on American tables,” he said.
