Key West Real Estate: Lobsterfest 2014 Comes to Key West

The 18^th annual Lobsterfest is set to take place Thursday August 7^th through Sunday August 10^th. This event starts off the spiny lobster season with all sorts of fun and food in one big weekend. From the area’s best, fresh cooked lobster, to free music, a street fair and even a pub crawl, Key West will soon be taken over by lobsters and lobster lovers alike. But the festival is not just about lobsters, it is also a benefit to raise scholarship funds for Key West High School students, so it is a great way to help our community, enjoy some fun and eat really well.

The fun begins on Thursday August 7^th with a Lobster Boil held at the Tiki Bar & Grille on Front Street. In addition to lobster, the feast includes andouille sausage, crawfish, corn on the cob, potatoes and shrimp. There will be live entertainment and drink specials offered as well.
