Rockland, Maine. August 3, 2019
72 nd Annual Maine Lobster Fest. Friends aboard. Much merriment.
Who knew the highlight – at least for us – would be the parade. Not just any parade. The Big Parade.
King Neptune, the newly crowned Maine Sea Goddess and her Sea Princesses.
Lobster floats, marching lobsters, grown men driving tiny cars, motorcycles, veterans, orchestras, a Zamboni. Jenny claims that somewhere in there was a Canadian Mountie playing a keyboard.
Lest we forget – the gastronomic heart of the event. Lobster – every conceivable culinary imagining. 30,000 pounds of it by Day 2 of 4.
The Shore Dinner – lobster, corn on the cob and creamy coleslaw. Crowd favorite.
