- I’ve been carefully watching for this year’s Lobsterfest, an annual fundraiser hosted by the Stampede City Kinsmen, after such a great time last year. (I ate three lobsters.) But with their website down for several weeks, it turned out to be quite a test of my investigative skills. By the time I chased down an organizer, they had sold out!
Luckily, they’re releasing a few more tickets with a cutoff of this weekend. For $40, they’re serving 1.5 to 2 lb. lobsters (all-you-can-eat) along with sides like corn and buns. Proceeds go to charity. The Lobsterfest is on July 24 at 5:30 p.m. at the Bowness Sportsplex.
If you’re serious about getting tickets, leave a comment with your email (it won’t be public) and I can send you the ticket form and phone information.
- If I wasn’t already counting down the years to early retirement , I’d jump at this amazing job from Yelp. They’re looking for a community manager for Calgary: writing, marketing, event planning and reviewing local restaurants and other businesses.
- The Calgary Farmers’ Market has set up an outdoor venture in Marda Loop (2015-33rd Ave. SW) every Thursday until Aug. 26.
- Latin American food and culture will be featured at Fiestaval at Olympic Plaza on July 24 and 25.
- Kensington’s annual Sun and Salsa Fest is back July 25. Buy a bag of chips to sample the salsas offered by the area’s different merchants. Proceeds go to charity.
Thanks for such a great site, I have been reading your articles and enjoying your input!
Can you provide me with the Lobsterfest info, I would really like to get some tickets.
Thanks

Please send me the lobster form, thanks!
Thank you! I have been trying find out how to get tickets for weeks. Could you send me the info?

Also, great site!
Are there any tickets available for the Lobsterfest this year? My husband and I have missed it so far every year. Trying to figure out where to get tickets or a contact # has been difficult.
Thanks,

I hope it’s not too late to get in on this.
Tnx.
[...] We ended our weekend at the Kensington Sun & Salsa Festival, which I had added to our itinerary once seeing it on Andree’s blog. [...]
I just spent the last hour reading through all the most recent posts to this LobsterFest post! I would so love to try out Calgary’s LobsterFest! I didn’t even know we had an event like such! All you can eat lobster? Oh mine!
I am addicted to seafood
Do you have any information on the 2011 LobsterFestival?
Thanks a bunch
