Maine Lobster Festival
Maine Lobster Festival Review
Rockland's annual Maine Lobster Festival, in early August, started in 1947 and has become the biggest local event of the year. People come from all over the country to sample lobster in every possible form. During the few days of the festival about 10 tons of lobsters are steamed in a huge lobster cooker—you have to see it to believe it. The festival, held in Harbor Park, includes a parade, entertainment, craft and marine exhibits, food booths—and, of course, the crowning of the Maine Sea Goddess.
