Friday & Saturday, June 7-8, 2024

Thirty-five years ago, what started out as a humble fundraiser for Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company’s golden anniversary is now a bustling annual tradition. This year, on June 7 and 8, the members of the company — assisted by dozens of additional family members, friends and other volunteer — served 2,040 lobsters and 770 steaks. Between the two nights, there were no less than 3,000 people in attendance. They enjoyed a raw seafood bar, their choices of lobster, steak, hambuger and hot dog entrees, a cocktail bar, and live music.
