The New Canaan Rotary Club’s 40th Annual Family Lobsterfest …. a New Canaan Tradition!

Our Annual Lobsterfest has been held every year in New Canaan since 1986
Normally, our club members, family and some friends, donate time and do all of the preparation, cooking and cleaning ….. but from 2020 to 2024 we needed to think differently due to the COVID Pandemic. And for our 40th Anniversary in 2025, we’re taking it to the next level, offering the best of past events at a new venue: Waveny House! Once again, we have enlisted Professionals from Fjord’s Seafood and Walter Stewart’s Market to handle the food preparation, cooking, and packaging. Our team of volunteers will be there to assist with Dine-In Table Service, and At Home Delivery. Lobsterfest is our biggest fundraiser of the year and the proceeds provide the majority of funds that our club will award next spring as Grants to worthy local and international organizations.
Add a little help from our friends - The New Canaan High School Service League of Boys (SLOBS).
For many years, the NCHS SLOBS have provided smiles and service to help us operate Lobsterfest - we say THANKS! #NCPRIDE
