Fall Clam Festivals

If digging for clams is your passion, be sure to pop in at one of the fall clam festivals on offer. If you simply “dig” clams (on the half shell, fried, in chowder, or any which way) you won’t want to miss these either.

From 5K races in honor of clams to musical competitions and wine tasting, you’ll find something for everyone at most clam festivals. Many will also include other shellfish in their celebration like lobster and crab, so don’t pass up the opportunity if you happen to be nearby and love all kinds of crustaceans. Clam eating contests are not unheard of while fun souvenirs and crafts are usually available for purchase as well.

Take a few dozen steamers home in a thermo pack for enjoying later. And don’t forget the melted butter.
