Our state’s shorelines might border lakes instead of oceans, but that doesn’t mean we Michiganders can’t appreciate the deliciousness of seafood. While we enjoy all sorts of shellfish options, there’s nothing more fantastic than digging into a dish made with fresh lobster. If you’re ready to celebrate everyone’s favorite crustacean, mark your calendars for this upcoming Michigan festival.

The 2018 Great American Lobster Fest will make its very first appearance in Detroit's beautiful Hart Plaza from September 14th through 16th.

This unique celebration is based in Chicago, but the festival has chosen to mark its fifth anniversary by hitting the road and expanding its schedule to include Detroit.
