Original Lobster Festival
- see all dates
Everyone’s favorite crustacean is celebrated this weekend at the Original Lobster Festival. A master chef steams up live Maine lobsters flown in daily for the event.
Lobster Feast is not included in general admission. Various ticket options include feast and admission or a la carte lobster; see website for detailed prices. A giant food court offers numerous dining alternatives, with non-seafood and kid-friendly choices.
Festival goers are entertained with live bands, a dance floor, and karaoke. El Baston del Rey offers free tastings for attendees age 21 and older.
Saturday and Sunday from noon until 6pm, the Children's Stage showcases magicians, performers and more. And no festival would be complete without carnival rides, games and face painting. Other fun includes photo ops with the Original Lobster Festival official mascot, and a free souvenir e-photo.
Children 12 years old and younger are admitted free of charge with a ticket-holding adult, (does not include carnival rides and games, food, drinks or VIP Lounge).
FESTIVAL HOURS:
Friday: 5pm-11pm
Saturday: noon- 11pm
Sunday: noon-8pm
