Early Bird Tickets Available for First-Ever Atlanta Lobster Festival

Candler Park will come alive with the sound of music, the joy of fun and games, and the taste of lobster at the first-ever Atlanta Lobster Festival on Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m.

“The festival will include an afternoon of live music, arts and crafts, light bites from a selection of the city’s top restaurants, as well as a variety of craft brew options,” says the official website.

At least 14 Atlanta area restaurants will be participating in the inaugural event, with more restaurants to be announced as the big day approaches. Gourmands who aren’t particularly fond of lobster will have plenty of non-seafood options to choose from.

Musical acts scheduled for the event include The Bitteroots, Cadillac Jones, Donna Hopkins Band, and Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics.

Early bird general admission tickets for the festival can be purchased until Saturday for $25. General admission tickets entitle the bearer to 10 Food & Drink Coupons, which are spent at vendors or game stations on the festival grounds.

A VIP ticket will cost $85 until Saturday, and grants the same privileges as the general admission ticket with the added bonus of access to exclusive tastings, a VIP stage viewing area, air conditioned bathrooms, and other perks.

Tickets for the rain or shine event can be purchased here.
