26th Great Inland Seafood Festival August 8-11 2013 in Newport Kentucky
It's almost time for the Great Inland Seafood Festival in Newport Kentucky! While the scenes on the Ohio River won't look like the scenes from Boothbay Harbor Maine on the right, the locals here will be enjoying the product of those Maine lobstermen! 10,000 Maine lobsters will be trucked in for the Great Inland Seafood Festival and for $10.95 you can claim one of them as your own! The event is hosted on the Newport Kentucky side of the Ohio River, so enjoy the Cincinnati skyline as you're munching on crabs, shrimp, oysters and much more! And a warning, 10,000 lobsters will NOT last the entire festival, so if you show up late Sunday, don't be surprised if lobster will NOT be on your plate!
There will also be 15 local restaurants will be doing their best seafood dishes, so you're going to be conflicted with just what to have!
And in addition to the food, there will be plenty of live entertainment at the Great Inland Seafood Festival too! Other than the occasional 1/2 hour set change, there will be live bands the entire festival.
The event itself is free, but of course the food and drinks are going to cost you! Plenty of parking in the area too (that may cost you depending on where you park).
Just go down to the Newport on the Levee and get to the riverbank from there! 1 Riverboat Row, Newport KY for your GPS.
Event Hours:
Thursday & Friday, 5 p.m. - 11 p.m.
Saturday noon - 11 p.m.
Sunday noon - 9 p.m.
