Yet another new one for this South Bay Girl and her family. I'm looking foward to do some shopping, eating, dancing, drinking and festing. The Greek ladies we met at last month's Greek festival said this is a big event and a lot of fun. I'll let you know afterwards, hopefully you will check it out to!

BOOZE - Wine tasting booth / Margaritaville / Beer garden / A Tavern / Greek sports bar...
It states and I quote "Authentic greek beers, wine, Ouzo, and Metaxa"

Weekend 19th - 21st - Lobsterfest in San Pedro
 
Hours - Friday 5pm-11pm : Sat noon-11:30pm : Sun noon-10:30pm
Costs -   Pricing still to come
         - Parking - you have to park on 25th street and get bussed over to the fair grounds - strollers fit, just plan your way home wisely it could take quite some time and a long line to get back to your car
 
This will be our 3rd time to the lobsterfest. Dont miss the dog show where pet lovers dress their animals in hand made sea creature costumes and parade them around for all of us to pity and laugh at. The bands aren't half bad. If you think so then don't fear because there are two beer gardens very near-by the music area.
 
FOOD - Of course there is lobster! However, i like warm lobster and hot melted butter and a lobster pre-cracked. So yes, a little snobbish. I don't eat the lobster here. However I certainly don't go hungry. With the brewery, sausages and the fish market, I'm set. 
BOOZE - Ahhh beer everywhere and nice, short lines
AGAIN - Count me in every year
