Annual LobsterFest fundraiser returns Saturday with all-you-can-eat lobster, live entertainment and support for two local charities.
Seafood lovers still have time to get tickets for LobsterFest 2026, a popular fundraising event returning to Kingston this weekend in support of two local charities.
Hosted by Symphony Spa owner Philippe Archambault, the event will take place on Saturday, June 6, at the Portuguese Cultural Centre of Kingston, located at 959 Division St.
Guests will enjoy all-you-can-eat fresh New Brunswick lobster from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for $150 per person. The evening will also feature live entertainment and music following the dinner.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support Partners in Mission Food Bank and Youth Diversion, helping both organizations continue their work in the Kingston community.
Partners in Mission Food Bank provides food assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity, while Youth Diversion offers programs and services that support young people and help them build positive futures.
Partners in Mission Food Bank executive director, Dan Irwin says this time of year is slow for donations.
Irwin also says that Lobster Fest has been an incredible fundraiser year after year.
Organizers say tickets are still available but encourage interested residents to act soon. Anyone with questions about the event can contact organizer Philippe Archambault at lobsterfest@symphonyspa.ca.
The annual event combines great food, community spirit and charitable giving, all while supporting important local causes.
