NS LOBSTER CRAWL | FEBRUARY 2024

Just in case you haven’t heard – we’ll proudly tell you we’re a four-season destination here on Nova Scotia’s South Shore – spring, summer, fall and LOBSTER!!!

That’s why every February – for the entire month – Tourism NS throws a fantastically tasty event called the Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl festival.

You see, February just happens to be the peak of the lobster season along the entire South Shore, so from Barrington (the Lobster Capital of Canada) to Peggy’s Cove and every port in between – you can expect all kinds of celebrations in salute to that ever so yummy crustacean.
