Thank You for Another Great Lobster Roll & Music Festival!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make our Second Annual Milford Regional Lobster Roll & Music Festival possible!

We are especially grateful to our major sponsors, Xfinity and Mazda of Milford, whose generous support and commitment to our community helped bring this event to life.

A special thank you as well to Modern Heating & Cooling and Steve’s Plumbing for their tremendous support and partnership. Having local businesses step up and invest in events like this is what makes them possible.

Thank you to our restaurants, The Breakwall, Moby Dick’s, Nautilus, and Stonebridge, all the vendors, musicians, community partners and especially our incredible volunteers, who gave their time, energy and plenty of hustle throughout the day. Events like this simply don’t happen without people willing to roll up their sleeves and pitch in.

And to everyone who joined us at Walnut Beach despite Mother Nature throwing a few curveballs our way, thank you for showing up, having fun and supporting our local businesses.

We created this festival to celebrate Milford, bring new visitors to our region and showcase everything that makes our community such a special place to live, work and play.

Thank you, Milford Region. We couldn’t do it without you, and we’ll see you next year!
