The first of its kind to hit Chicago, The Great American Lobster Fest features an amazing selection of fresh seafood and cold beers for purchase, plus tribute and original bands performing on two stages, an end-of-pier viewing party for the overhead Chicago Air & Water Show, and even an evening fireworks display (Saturday night only). Lobster lovers will be in crustacean heaven with the seemingly endless array of lobster rolls, lobster tacos, lobster mac ‘n’ cheese and steamed lobster feasts — all made from lobsta that’s flown in fresh daily from New England Seafood Company’s harbor in Boston. There’s also fish and chips, fried calamari and grilled shrimp, plus plenty of non-seafood items, sweets and vegetarian entrees to enjoy. Bands include local heroes Local H, tributes to Pink Floyd, Weezer and KISS, and dozens more.This celebration of the world’s tastiest crustacean combines all of the best parts of summer into one fun-filled — and delicious — outdoor festival.
