What are some of the things that they do with the mussels?

Do you also have any oyster festivals up there?

I would be tempted to travel to Maine for a lobster festival.

There is not an oyster festival that I am aware of, although if there were I would go. I love seafood.

The Penn Cove Mussel festival is really amazing. The local restaurants all prepare their own mussel chowder recipes and for $10 you can tour all of them for tasting. They also house several guest chefs to give demonstrations on how to cook with mussels, and offer tours of the local mussel farm, as well as there being a wonderful street fair with merchants and performers. In the evening they also do an art walk and the local businesses stay open late for the festival goers who are winding down for the evening.

Here is the link if anyone is interested.
