EASTERN SHORE COLD WATERS SEAFOOD FESTIVAL
Memory Lane Heritage Village
Welcome to the Eastern Shore Cold Waters Seafood Festival! Located on the grounds of Memory Lane Heritage Village in Lake Charlotte, 45 minutes outside Halifax along Nova Scotia’s beautiful Eastern Shore.
Due to the uncertainty around COVID-19 we do not yet know the details of how the 2021 event will be presented. We are working on a plan and will update this site as we get closer to the event date. Pre-registration for tickets will be required and will likely go on sale in early to mid May. Please check back for updates and follow us on Social Media for up-to-date announcements.
Please, stay safe and mark your calendars for June 5 & 6, 2021 when we will hopefully be diving in and stuffing ourselves with delicious local seafood again!
The cold clear waters of the Eastern Shore yield some of the best seafood in the province and this is your chance to sample it at its freshest: Lobsters, Mussels, Clams, and Haddock served a variety of ways, along with traditional foods such as Chowder, Fishcakes and Beans, and Hot-Smoked Fish.
Join in the family activities and skills demonstrations such as paint-your-own-buoy, dory rides, net knitting, and lobster trap building. Enjoy free samples of heritage recipes such as Solomon Gundy, and Herring and Potatoes.
This is a rain or shine event. If it rains we will move inside, get cozy by the woodstove, and eat seafood! So come East for some great eats, live music and family fun.
Tastes
All seafood samples are purchased using festival "Taste Tickets". Each ticket is $2 and can be used to purchase sample or sharing sized portions. All "taste" prices will be determined by the vendor according to market value at the time of the festival. Take-home “Tastes” and additional fresh product may also available from some vendors. Please note that “Tastes” purchased on Saturday are not valid on Sunday.
Ticket Bundles
Skip the line-ups by purchasing a Ticket Bundle ahead of time. Includes Festival Admission and enough "Taste Tickets" to fill yer boots. All tickets will be held at the door under the name of the purchaser.
Get-Away Package
Avoid the drive home and instead take a refreshing walk on Clam Harbour Beach followed by a relaxing overnight with one of our accommodation partners. Overnight packages include a weekend pass to the festival and enough “tastes” to sample a good selection of truly delicious seafood.
Vendors
Support our local harvesters and producers by purchasing local, fresh products anytime. Many of our vendors have a storefront where you can purchase fresh seafood most days of the week. Whether it's lunch at a local restaurant, seafood mix for your chowder, or a bag of mussels for the road, our wild shore has it all.
