Lighthouse's Annual Lobster Fest Is A Go For August

The Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum staff will welcome guests to experience an East Coast tradition on the Third Coast, with an alfresco lobster dinner at the lighthouse, located within Leelanau State Park in Northport.

The fundraiser is a go for August 15, 2020 with two seatings: 5 pm and 6:30pm. The cost per guest is $75 with a limited 200 tickets available. Fresh Maine lobster, filet mignon or chicken are on the menu, along with boiled redskins, corn on the cob, rolls, coleslaw, a cherry dessert, coffee, lemonade, beer and wine.

New this year, says lighthouse staff, will be the social distancing of tables on the lighthouse grounds, and tableside service will follow all CDC and local health department guidelines.

All proceeds benefit the continued restoration and preservation of the historic Grand Traverse Lighthouse, which has been guiding ships and sailors since 1858.

Tickets are on sale now. For more information contact Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum at 231-386-7195.
