In a city known for its seafood, it doesn’t get much fresher than the ocean offerings that come into town daily from the boats at historic Fish Pier on the South Boston waterfront—which makes it the perfect locale for the Boston Seafood Festival. This sixth annual celebration of the local fishing industry of course offers plenty of food, including a lobster bake, but that’s not all—there’s also an oyster shucking contest, chef demonstrations, live music, a beer garden and plenty of activities for the little ones. Taking place August 13 from 11 a.m.–7 p.m., the Seafood Festival is an ideal way to enjoy the bounty of the sea this summer while taking in breathtaking views of Boston Harbor.
