LIFESTYLES

SOUTH SHORE - Anticipation is boiling over as the Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl returns this February with a jam-packed schedule of events to celebrate the region’s iconic winter delicacy.

This transformation began in 2018 with a simple but bold idea: what if winter became a time to shell’ebrate the South Shore’s most famous crustacean? And so, the Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl was born - a culinary festival that turned cold days into a warm embrace of flavour, culture, and community.
