The count down is on for this years Seaside Lobsterfest, only 13 days until the start of the festivities. But event before we start the celebrating, the organizers of Lobsterfest are asking all residents and businesses to assist them with Paint the Town Red in conjunction with this year’s festival. Join in the fun, get the kids to help, let your imagination go wild and let’s show visitors coming to our area that there is something big happening right here in the historic village of St. Peter’s.
In the spirit of the festival and to highlight our beautiful seaside village, organizers are asking that residents and businesses decorate their homes and store fronts using Red as their color, with a preference highlighting a nautical theme. To ensure your property is included in the judging, please post your civic address in the comment section of the Lobsterfest Facebook page and feel free to post pictures of your completed project.
Prizes will be awarded to the best-decorated in each division at the Marina, during our Grand Opening, on July 3rd, at the Marina. Displays should be up by June 28th, at the latest, and they are asking that you leave your decorations up throughout the summer to help promote our village until the next festival.
