2009 Original Lobster Festival in Long Beach
Tweet
Well, this past weekend’s Original Long Beach Lobster Festival did not disappoint. Piles of steamy red crustaceans, tubs of clarified butter, cole slaw, watermelon slices — it’s everything you should demand from a beautiful weekend afternoon on the waterfront.
Beyond the traditional lobster meals, a number of other food and drink vendors packed the festival grounds. After a full lobster dinner, I didn’t have much room to spare. But if I had, it would have been used for one of the economy-sized sausages.
The festival featured live music and dancing, not to mention plenty of people in funny lobster hats. Both made for quite an entertaining afternoon of people-watching. But to tell you the truth, I could have spent the entire day watching the festival staff unload the gargantuan lobster steamers that greeted me upon entry.
