We’ve added a new item this evening’s menu, don’t worry you will still be able to get our famous Seafood Salad Roll Dinner complete with Pierre’s Famous Clam Chowder! For those do want to have something a bit different. We are offering a boneless, skinless grilled chicken breast sandwich served on a Kaiser roll to replace the traditional Seafood Salad Roll. The entertainment that night will be provided by The Relics, a local band, which covers music from the 60’s, 70’s, and sometimes 80’s. They’re great to listen to and even more fun to get up and dance to!
4-7 pm Only in its third year, the silent auction has become one of the most exciting events of the weekend. We approached the locally owned businesses throughout the area and asked them to donate goods and services for you to bid on. These are the same businesses that provide us support throughout the year and we are very pleased to be able to give them a high profile venue to showcase their goods. All the action happens minutes before the tables close, so be ready to bid and bid often. There are some great bargains to be had!
LOBSTAFEST5-7:30 pm When you said Lobstafest what else you need to know! This has become one of Harbor Days’ most popular events and often sells out well before the evening starts. The meal includes corn on the cob, coleslaw, a fresh roll and of course a fresh lobster. We even include a pair and a wet wipe for after your meal. You may want to bring your own crackers to open the shells with to make it easier to get to the meat of the matter.
New this year, and hopefully destined to become a Harbor Days' tradition, you will be treated to a family appropriate movie on a big screen in the tent immediately following dinner. What would a movie be without popcorn, candy and soda?
Sunday morning is the Pancake & Sausage Breakfast. It’s not unusual to see the line go from the tent out to the street with hundreds of families waiting patiently in line for their complete breakfast. The doors open at 7 AM and we serve until there is no more.
