The festival each year draws about 100,000 visitors who put away more than 20,000 pounds of lobster.
Besides lobster, the festival features a sea goddess coronation, a parade, entertainment, tours of a U.S. Navy ship, cooking contests, carnival rides and a lobster crate race where contestants run across lobster crates floating in the water.
