Hi all --
I'm planning a short summer trip for family, and it could possibly overlap with the annual lobster festival in Rockland in August.
Just wondering if you all have found it to be a great $ deal, or any better than lobster outside of the festival -- taste / cost? The website says $14 lobsters, so not sure if this is regular, or high for Maine along the coast.
The festival attractions are mildly interesting, but my ingoing bias is that it's probably not worth altering plans deliberately to go...
Anyone had experience with this festival?
Thanks!
I have never been myself, but I have heard it is a zoo up there during the festival. I live in Southern Maine and you can usually get lobsters in the summer for anywhere from $3.99 - $6.99 a pound (most of the time you will get 1-1.5 lb lobsters)and most places will even steam them for you at that price - so $14 a lobster is kinda steep. I would just focus on the coastline and scenery rather than deal with the festival. Camden is also beautiful with great views from the top of Mount Battie
