The Great American Lobster Fest – Chicago 2026

Held at Navy Pier’s beer gardens, The Great American Lobster Fest is the Midwest’s biggest seafood event and a Green Curtain Events flagship experience. With over 50,000 attendees across two days, the festival features fresh lobster flown in from the East Coast, family-friendly entertainment, live music, local vendors, and craft beverages. High tourism traffic and premium real estate along Chicago’s lakefront make this an ideal opportunity for lifestyle brands, food and beverage companies, and coastal-themed sponsors to drive massive engagement and visibility.
