NB's oldest summer festival—lobster feasts, concerts & East Coast fun since 1949.
Running annually each July in Shediac—just 25 minutes from Moncton—this signature provincial event draws 20,000–40,000 visitors over roughly nine days. Highlights include La Grande Table (a 600-guest lobster dinner on Main Street), lobster-eating contests, the Claw Run 5K/10K, midway rides, and live Acadian and Maritime music concerts. Designated a New Brunswick Signature Event, it is one of the longest-running festivals in Atlantic Canada.
