The Lobsters Are Coming!

The Original Lobster Festival has become a tradition to over thousands of festival goers annually. We combine local popular artists, Swing, Salsa, R&B/Motown, Decades 70s/80s, and Disco Dance Bands, tons of Fresh Live Maine Lobsters steamed in the Worlds Largest Cooker prepared and served by Bristol Farms Master Chef Bruce Jacobs for that mouth watering taste, giant food court, children’s area, dance floor, two stages and beach bars to create the largest Lobster Festival outside of Maine, right here in Southern California.
Come for the Feast and Make a Day of it.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
Live entertainment and activities for all ages, arts and crafts booths, Ribs, Chicken, Jamaican, Chinese, Thai and other international foods and desserts, adult beverages: Beer, Wine, Malt liquor flavor drinks and Margaritas, and of course, LOBSTER. Lots and lots of Lobster flown in fresh daily.
