Seaside Lobsterfest and KitchenFest!

St.Peter’s Economical Development Organization developed a tourism committee. From this Tourism Committee, a subcommittee was formed, to organize a new festival for the St.Peters and surrounding areas, to help market the area. The goal is to attract people and encourage economic development in our community. And what better to do so, than with our local fish and traditional music, and heritage. We attempt to encompass the local cultures and share our traditions. We hope you will join us, enjoy our festivities, and make it a yearly tradition.

We are now heading into the fourth year of our festival, and are proud to say it is bigger and better every year. With the Scottish, French, Mikmaw, and Irish cultures celebrated at our opening, we attempt to include all our traditional local cultures as well as educate guests and participants of each others culture and traditions. It is a great way of bring people together with great entertainment. There is no charge for this event, as is mostly all volunteer. There is generally a cake and punch, and a few words from our chairperson. This has been held at the St.Peter’s Marina or the Lions Hall, weather depending.

You can partake in activities at the canal throughout the week, including mackerel fishing experience, lobster fishing experiences, learning to cook and clean your catch, lobsterology lessons, and various forms of local entertainment.

There will be activities for the children including a “Mermaid Spa”, and various childrens games. The entire family can partake in most of the entertainment and dinners. On Saturday we hold a “Fisherman’s Market” where you can purchase local fish, as well as crafts, food, and art. We have a dance on Friday night with McGinty, and a Dockside party on Friday night with local entertainment.

Attend as much of the activities as you can. The Lobster Trivia Night, is always a blast, and has great prizes. This year we have added a Lobster Poker Walk. Another festivity for the whole family.

Advance Tickets will be available online and then picked up at the door of events. Check visitstpeters.com for more details or check our schedule on facebook.com/seasidelobsterfest
