All-you-can-eat Tustin Lobsterfest cooks up some 1,500 crustaceans for hundreds of foodies

by in News

Hundreds of foodies clawed their way to Peppertree Park in Tustin Saturday, May 18, to gobble more than 1,500 buttery crustaceans.

And if that wasn’t enough, attendees also feasted on tri-tip roast and washed everything down with beer.

The annual Lobsterfest, now a decade old, is sponsored by the Tustin-Santa Ana Rotary Club to raise funds for local charities.

Live bands provided an opportunity for lobster-philes to dance away a few calories.
