Celebrate the Harvest of the Sea at the 35th annual Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18. The festival promises two days of fresh seafood, live music, and family fun.

Expect local favorites like fish tacos, lobster rolls, stuffies, chowder, fried calamari, clams, oysters, and more — plus signature cocktails and cold beer beneath Bowen’s Wharf’s colorful tents. Neighboring restaurants and fishermen’s associations serve up their most celebrated seafood dishes, along with a few tasty options for landlubbers and kids.

There will be continuous live music throughout the weekend, featuring folk, surf rock and blues bands. Café-style seating is available throughout the wharf, and a portion of proceeds from the festival bars benefits Child & Family.

Festival hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
