San Pedro's 2011 Lobsterfest - "Party like a lob-Star"

Not even a quick downpour could stop the crowd from enjoying San Pedro’s 2011 Lobsterfest on June 25th. Gaily decorated booths served as shelter for the passing storm, and soon after, the music, food and enjoyment kicked off again. Hundreds of people came and went, sampling the many ways lobster had been prepared for their enjoyment. Each booth at the Central Park had their unique way of preparing the tasty crustacean. Special drinks like the Chocolate Lobster, which contained chunks of chocolate coated lobster at the bottom of a very delicious, creamy concoction kept crowds coming back for more. Grilled lobster tails, lobster hot dogs, lobster tamales and coconut curry lobster salad in a waffle ice cream cone – the variety of preparations were endless, and everyone indulged in the biggest celebration of the lobster.

At the end of the night, Supa G came onstage to help everyone “party like a lob-star”!! Watch for the results of the judging and of course, for more information on what all went down this year at San Pedro’s Lobsterfest 2011 in The San Pedro Sun newspaper
