It's Lobster Festival Time

Hopefully, the thunderstorms will hold off for today’s full slate of Homecoming events, including the wildly popular Lobster Festival.

At 11 a.m., local members of the Coastguard Auxiliary will be available to share information about the organization’s mission, programs, activities and how to get involved at Lynch Park.

The Lobster Festival gets underway at Lynch Park at noon and runs through 8 p.m.

Traditional lobster bake, chowder, chicken, etc. will be available all day at Lynch Park.

Dine at picnic tables under the tent while listening to local bands. Local businesses, politicians, and non-profits will be set up around the park to share information.

This year, credit cards will be accepted during the Lobster Festival.

The Lobster Festival coincides with the 12th Annual David S. Lynch Appreciation Day from noon to 6 p.m. at Lynch Park.
