For fun and feasting, the Annual Maine Lobster Festival is one of New England's great summer events where lobster is king. The five day festival is held at Rocklands Harbor Park, on the city's picturesque waterfront overlooking beautiful Penobscot Bay. It is a fun filled and entertaining event where feasting and festivities perfectly compliment each other.
The focus of the festival, is of course, fresh hot Maine Lobster. At the 1998 festival almost eight tons of lobster was prepared in the world's largest lobster cooker. In addition to lobster, many other varieties of fresh seafood are available.
In addition to the excellent food choices, there are many vendors exhibiting arts, crafts, and other goods.
Also showcased at the festival is entertainment for all ages, including local and world renowned bands, marine exhibits, childrens parade and events, a 10K race, Coronation, and the infamous Lobster Crate Race.
