Of course, you'll find lobsters here among some of your favorite seafood, such as steamers, fish & chips, clam cakes, and a cool raw bar with some yummy shellfish.

Or some New England clam chowder with hushpuppies can hit the spot too.

While seafood may be the main attraction at the festival, you’ll also find scores of other favorites — fries, shaved ice, poutine, and a whole lot more.

And lots of sugary desserts like this table of love will be available.

And if you love fireworks, head over to the festival on Saturday, Aug. 5, when an epic fireworks show kicks off at 9 p.m.

A rain date is scheduled for Sunday.

This seafood festival, one of the premier food festivals in New England, will take place at Ninigret Park where you can camp in your RV.

If you’ve never been before, you’re likely heading into year one of a new summertime tradition, and look — you can even win prizes!
