Maine Lobster Week is a statewide lobster celebration starting September 22 and going through September 29, with National Lobster Day on September 25. Find lobster shacks, food trucks, and fine dining with everything from lobster rolls to lobster Bloody Mary's, to decadent three-course menus, at participating dining locations (to be announced starting in August) from Kennebunkport to Bar Harbor.
Maine Lobster Week honors the hard-working lobstermen. The Maine Lobster fishery has long prided itself on being a sustainable industry. It has self-imposed rules to protect the resource dating back to the 1800s. The tradition of lobstering has been passed down for generations and is a cornerstone of Maine's coastal culture and economy. Lobstermen and suppliers know that to preserve the fishery and the lobstering way of life, they must protect the lobster stocks in the Gulf of Maine and the coastal and marine environment.
Maine Lobster Week is sponsored by the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative and produced by gBritt PR. Thanks for reading and sharing Maine Lobster Week with family and friends. Cheers!
Prioritize purchasing Maine lobster from local suppliers, restaurants, and markets. Choosing Maine lobster directly supports Maine fishermen!
Participate in Maine Lobster Week by dining at participating restaurants, sending lobster to friends and family, joining in cooking demonstrations, and seeking out educational opportunities. Active involvement promotes a deeper connection to the lobster community.
