SHELBURNE COUNTY LOBSTER FESTIVAL
​JUNE 1-6, 2021

SHELBURNE COUNTY WILL SHELL’ABRATE LOBSTER FESTIVAL IN 2021

SHELBURNE COUNTY, NOVA SCOTIA - With the lifting of some COVID-19 restrictions surrounding events, the 2021 Shelburne County Lobster Festival committee is excited to announce plans to go ahead with this year’s festival with a limited capacity approach. The festival will be held June 1-6, 2021.  
 
The Shelburne County Lobster Festival which has been running since 1986, was established to recognize and celebrate the importance of the lobster fisheries in Shelburne County. There are many events that take place throughout the Festival that are organized or sponsored by various community groups and volunteers from one end of the county to the other. It is a signature event along Nova Scotia’s South Shore and has always been a great way to kick off the summer season and indulge in one of our Nova Scotia icons - lobster.
 
The members of the marketing committee feel with the lifting of various gathering limits that smaller events can be hosted by various community groups this year if they choose to do so. The larger scale events, that tend to draw larger crowds such as the Lobster Fest Market and the Great Lobsterman Challenge will be postponed another year until further restrictions begin to lift.  “The committee will still plan to hold some virtual events in collaboration with the smaller in person community events to celebrate the end of the lobster season.”, says event organizer and committee member, Suzy Atwood. “While the Festival won’t be the large festival it normally is, we hope the community groups and organizations will begin to plan events to help celebrate the end of the lobster season with us.” People are encouraged to like and follow the festival on their Facebook page to learn more on the events taking place as they begin planning for this year.
 
Anyone who needs to get in touch with festival organizers for business purposes or to have their event added to the festival schedule should email their local recreation department in Shelburne County for more information.
