Lotsa lobster.
***CONTEST CLOSED***
I don’t think there’s a lobster fest that’s cooler than our Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival in San Pedro. I mean, in addition to fresh steamed Maine lobsters, this event boasts 18 live bands. Yes, it’s also a music festival. Weird and neat! What a great way to end the summer. From Friday, September 17 through September 19, lobster fest attendees will get to enjoy bands like Dengue Fever, The Section Quartet and See How We Are with John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X.
So you can rock out with your $18 Maine lobster meal. There’s something for everyone here. And even if lobsters aren’t your thing, meaning you’re a vegetarian who’s dragged to the event, you can just dine at the salad bar at Ports o’ Calls restaurant near the fest, take your receipt to the front desk and then you get a free admission ticket. Also, food truck lovers will be pleased to know that “The Great Food Truck Race” contestants, Ragin’ Cajun and Nom Nom Truck, will be on hand to offer a nice supplement to crustacean.
General admission is $9 and doesn’t include the $18 lobster meal. But the VIP ticket ($39), aka First Class admission, includes a weekend admission, a Maine lobster meal, front-of-the-line privileges for the lobster meal line and the bar, a beverage of your choice and your own dining area. It’s only a $12 difference for all that extra good stuff.
If even that’s too much for you, lucky for you that I’m giving away a couple of pairs right now.
OK, so who wants a free pair of First Class tickets (regular $78) to Port of Los Angeles’ Lobster Festival next weekend?
