"A five-day, family-friendly seaside event celebrating its 75th anniversary with some 20,000 pounds of fresh-caught lobster served in many formats—full lobster dinners, lobster bisque, lobster mac ’n’ cheese, lobster-stuffed risotto balls, lobster rolls, and lobster wontons—alongside activities such as the Great International Lobster Crate Race, a parade, a seafood cooking contest, live entertainment, and a Steins & Vines tasting of Maine-crafted beers and wines; general admission is free though select tastings are ticketed." - Susan B.
