Grab your melted butter and a bib because September 25 is National Lobster Day!

The day recognizes the cultural, economic and environmental importance of the iconic species, which is a foundational part of Maine’s economy.

Senators Susan Collins and Angus King are among those celebrating after the Senate unanimously passed their bipartisan resolution designating September 25 as National Lobster Day.

They say in 2022 the industry brought in over $388 million for Maine.

And it’s perfect timing because it’s Maine Lobster Week!

You’ll find lobster shacks, food trucks, and fine dining with all kinds of lobster dishes.

Maine lobster week runs through Saturday.
