It won’t get you through airport immigration, but the San Pedro Lobster Fest’s Lobster Crawl Passport offers festivalgoers a fun way to sample all the flavors of this year’s events. Take your time visiting some of the island’s best restaurants like Estel’s Dine by the Sea, Elvi’s Kitchen, Blue Water Grill, and Rain Restaurant – and secure a stamp for each.

When all is said and done (and sampled), look to the Hon. Louis Sylvestre Sports Complex and the Boca Del Rio strip on the 15th and 16th, respectively, for some classic lobster fest revelry. On Saturday, it’s a Lobster Fest block party, complete with live music, loads of entertainment, and of course, lots of food. Then, on Sunday, an all-day Beach Party promises loads of fun in the sand and sun. Ready to party like a “lobstar”? The 2023 San Pedro Lobster Fest awaits!
