Shelburne Lobster Festival Is A Go Despite Wet Weather


The annual Shelburne County Lobster Festival is a go .. rain or shine! The popular event begins this evening with a slew of events running all weekend, including the official opening tonight at 6:30 at the Barrington Arena. Anna Kenney is with the organizing committee.



The festival, which runs through Sunday is a celebration of the lobster fishing industry in Shelburne County, often called Canada's Lobster Capital. Besides lots of lobster meals being consumed, there will be sporting events, dances, yard sales, flea markets and a gospel concert.
