The 60th Annual Frenchboro Lobster Dinner

SAVE THE DATE!!!! SAVE THE DATE!!!

The Annual Frenchboro Lobster Dinner will be held on SATURDAY, AUGUST 5.

This is the FIRST Saturday in August which is not per tradition, of course. Apparently, there are other regional events which now take place on the second Saturday and are a big draw for some of the folks around and on the island. Hopefully, this advance notice allows for people to plan ahead! We look forward to another amazing celebration and seeing all of our friends again!!

For more than 50 years, the Frenchboro, Outer Long Island Congregational Church has hosted a Lobster Dinner to benefit the Church and the island community.

The island community comes together to host this much-anticipated event, volunteering to contribute and cook pounds of lobster, bake scores of pies, donate items for the raffle and art auction, and greet and serve the hundreds of guests who attend this Festival. Over the years, the Dinner has expanded to include live music, a road race, children’s games and other activities, giving the event a true Festival atmosphere. Proceeds benefit the Frenchboro Congregational Church and its outreach programs to the island community. Proceeds also benefit island non-profits including the Historical Society, Library, and Solid Waste Committee.
