Welcome to the Charlestown Seafood Festival
The award-winning Charlestown Seafood Festival is the first of its kind in the country and is now one of the biggest events in New England.
You will find a gastronomic extravaganza of Rhode Island’s best seafood, lobsters, steamers, chowder, fish & chips, lobster rolls, clam cakes, corn on the cob, and a raw bar, as well as an array of all types of foods for every taste. With a wide variety of arts and crafts on display, amusement rides, rock wall climbing, car show, midway entertainment, kayak, overnight getaways, 50/50, lobster raffle, and more – there is something for everyone.
Light the night
Saturday Night Fireworks
What better way to finish off a night of food, rides and music than with a spectacular fireworks show.
