If you’re like us here at GreaterNewburyportToday.com, and you’re always looking forward to regional food, wine, and beer & ale tastings, make sure that you add the annual Ipswich Chowderfest to your calendar for Saturday, September 25th! We’ll be there to sample some of the best local chowders made with local Ipswich and Essex shellfish!
Folks on the North Shore and beyond will flock to Ipswich for its famous fried clams, seafood and of course delectable clam chowder. What better way to round out the season than with an opportunity to, not only sample some of the best chowder around, but also become judge for a day?
Those attending pay a small fee to taste chowders from local restaurants and then vote for their favorites. About a dozen local restaurants serve up their best chowder to hundreds of hungry participants at an event that has become a North Shore tradition.
The Lions are looking for restaurants to bring their best chowda’ to vie for the coveted Peoples’ Choice and Judges’ Choice Awards. This is an opportunity to put your restaurant on the map. Once again, there will also be raffles and businesses and individuals are needed to donate certificates and items to be included.
Sponsored by the Ipswich Lions Club, all proceeds are donated to local charities such as high school scholarships, programs for seniors, Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Foundation, and eyeglass recycling.
