The Original Lobster Festival, a beloved annual tradition for festival-goers, has relocated from Long Beach to the Fountain Valley Sports Park. Attendees can enjoy live entertainment, fun activities, and hundreds of lobsters.
The main attraction at the lobster festival is the Fresh Live Maine Lobsters steamed to mouth-watering perfection in the world’s largest lobster steamers known as “Bugs.”
The Fountain Valley Lobster Festival serves award-winning lobster plates featuring sweet and succulent lobster, melted butter dipping sauce, fresh-cut lemons, coleslaw, dinner rolls, and watermelon. All lobster is flown in nightly from Maine.
Guests can sample international food, browse Arts and craft booths, or sample beer & wine gardens. A free souvenir e-photo is available for all attendees.
A sports tent lets you experience firsthand the highest-quality picture and heart-pounding sports action like never before while enjoying your lobster feasts. Kids will love the storytellers, magicians, and inflatable bouncers—free general admission to all active U.S. military personnel.

Mile Square Park is at 16400 Brookhurst St., in Fountain Valley, California. It is located between Edinger Avenue and Warner Avenue, along Brookhurst Street. There are two lakes for fishing, bike and paddle boat rentals, and plenty of picnic areas with shelters for individuals, families, and groups.
