“An epicurean’s delight, this annual event will celebrate the BVI’s fresh, delectable seafood offerings exclusively available on the island of Anegada,” the tourist board said in a statement.

The festival highlights the island’s remarkable collection of lobster-focused restaurants, with events like a lobster crawl and special dinners.

More updates will be shared as details are finalized.

“The local community looks forward to participating in this special culinary celebration,” the board said.
