The 1st Annual Fish and Lobster Festival will be taking place on September 19 at Prescott Park in Portsmouth. This is going to be a fantastic event, with truly local seafood, the opportunity to get on board fishing boats and understand different types of gear, music, and lots and lots of learning and fun about our coastline.

We’re looking for volunteers to take various shifts throughout the day. The festival takes place from 12-4 and there will be set-up, clean-up, and everything in between. There is an optional volunteer meeting on August 27, a 4 pm session and a 6 pm session (each lasting one hour, each will be identical, just providing time options). These meetings will also be the time to say when you are available, and find out what you would be doing. If you can’t attend on the 27th but can volunteer on September 19th, that is great, too.

We’ll meet at the Park and do a quick walk-through of the festival layout. Please join us near the main stage (in case of rain, at Sheafe Warehouse).

What you can expect at the meeting:
* Learn the festival’s background and purpose
* List of collaborators, participating organizations and restaurants
* Festival map and program
* Setup and breakdown details
* Opportunity for unassigned volunteers to sign up for general Festival Volunteer slots
* Q & A and advance troubleshooting

Sign up to volunteer and let us know if you can attend on the 27th by emailing sarazoe@seacoasteatlocal.org
