19th Annual Hampton Beach Seafood Festival, September 5th to 7th

August 31, 2008

When: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 5th, 6th, and 7th
Where: Hampton Beach, Ocean Boulevard
Cost: Free on Friday from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm; $5 on Saturday (10:00 am to 9:00 pm) and sunday (10:00 am to 6:00 pm). Children under 12 are free.

The Hampton Beach Seafood Festival, which is organized by the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce, gets bigger and better each year. This year, in its 19th year, the festival will feature more than 60 of the Seacoast’s top restaurants.

The Hampton Seafood Festival draws a large crowd - it attracts more than 150,000 visitors to the beach over the three-day event. While seafood is the main attraction, there are also plenty of non-seafood eating activities to keep the entire family occupied, including a Saturday night fireworks display!

This year, in addition to the seafood, the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival includes:

80 arts and crafts vendors showing off locally made products
100’sof Ocean Boulevard merchants offering end-of-season sidewalk sales
A Kiddie Land to entertain families and children
Culinary demonstrations by Chef Pat Whitley
Two stages of continuous entertainment with 15 bands and orchestras.

Ocean Boulevard will be closed off from traffic for the duration of the festival, creating a wide-open pedestrian mall.

A portion of the admission goes toward the Hampton Rotary Club.

Visit the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival website for the complete schedule, information on free parking and shuttle bus locations.
