A lovely late-summer day.
Beer and wine. Music. A huge crowd of friendly, sociable people, ready to mix, mingle, kick back and chill.
And of course about 3,000 lobsters, shipped in yesterday from Nova Scotia.
Those were the ingredients for today’s Lobster Fest.
In just 5 years, the Rotary Club event has become a major highlight on the Westport calendar.
It’s the biggest block party in town. It’s Compo and community at its best.
And — best of all — it raises about $75,000, which the Rotary Club plows right back into good causes locally, nationally and abroad.
If you weren’t there, you missed a fantastic party.
And some really amazing lobsters.
A phenomenal event – so well organized – and all in support of so many deserving charities. This is a must-attend event each year in Westport. Congratulations to the Rotary for all their efforts.
Sounds like a great event but boo to having lobsters from Nova Scotia. They should have used Maine lobsters.
Maybe you could build a fence?
Nothing against Nova Scotia, I just used to live in Maine.
Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia are all so lovely — as are the lobsters, all from the same family!
Now I’m hungry for one… Pacific lobsters aren’t quite the same!
Cheers, from “Lobsters Without Borders”

Awesome event and the BEST lobster I’ve had all summer! Kudos to all of the Rotary members and 200 volunteers that made this such a success!
