Long Beach Lobster Fest Logo

The coveted Original Long Beach Lobster Festival will be gracing the city of Long Beach once again during a super tasty weekend extravaganza starting on Friday, September 11th and ending on Sunday, September 13th. This special event specifically catering to seafood lovers will take place at the charming Rainbow Lagoon in Long Beach and will feature mouth-watering, fresh Maine Lobsters flown in directly from the chilly waters of the salty Atlantic Ocean. Bristol Farms Master Chef Bruce Jacobs and his talented crew are set to serve memorable Lobster Dinners, all steamed to delicious perfection. The delectable feasts will be composed of sweet, succulent lobster, melted butter dipping sauce, fresh cut lemons, coleslaw, dinner rolls, and juicy watermelon slices.

The Festival will also feature an international food court, arts & crafts booths, scrumptious desserts, beer and wine gardens, and special themed cocktails. There’s even something for the young ones! Children are sure to love the storytellers, magicians and inflatable bounces scattered about. Furthermore, as a specially added bonus, this year’s celebration will also have a Live Sports Tent, where participants can watch their favorite sporting events on 4 flat screen TV’s while simultaneously enjoying the lobster feast.
