Maine Lobster Festival 8/5/2023 #mealtimetogether #food #festival

Maine is the lobster capital of the world. More than 20,000 pounds of lobsters were cooked in five days during this festival. It attracted more than 100,000 lobster lovers around the country.

In Rockland's harbor, where the ocean's breath,
Embraces land with salty arms and grace,
A festival of lobster calls from depths,
To celebrate the sea's enduring trace.

The Maine Lobster Festival unfolds its tale,
A maritime tradition, strong and true,
Where lobster boats set sail with hopeful hearts,
To capture treasures, dreams that they pursue.

In town, the air is filled with sweet perfume,
Of lobster rolls and buttered claws divine,
As laughter weaves with seagulls' playful cries,
A joyful dance, a melody in line.

With aprons donned, the chefs, like artists, paint,
With lobster's tender flesh, a masterpiece,
From classic dishes to creations bold,
They craft a feast that never seems to cease.

The Sea Goddess, a symbol of the shore,
Her regal crown, a nod to ocean's sway,
She graces all with elegance and grace,
A queen of tides, a guardian night and day.

Throughout the days, the merriment abounds,
In lobster crate races, children cheer,
As wooden traps are rolled on restless wheels,
A spectacle that fills the heart with cheer.

Amidst the crafts, the music, and the fun,
The Maine Lobster Festival's tales are spun,
A celebration of the ocean's gift,
A timeless bond between the sea and sun.

So let us gather 'neath the azure sky,
With lobster red, and laughter loud and free,
In Rockland's heart, where coastal spirits roam,
We celebrate the sea's grand legacy.
