Best NE summer food festivals? Music/other activities also a pro!
Putting my "staycation" calendar together and was wondering if there are some local niche food-related festivals in NE that are underattended and deserving of more attention- Anyone have a suggestion or two?

re: lexpatti
id say the lobster fest is only meh-ok. I have been several times. Its not a very large festival and the food is limited to 1) typical carnival fair carts (fried dough,fries,icecream,hotdogs). 2) Fried seafood 3) Lobster dinner in the main dinner tent (most popular but more expensive then the same thing at so many other places in the area-especially if you factor in ticket price).. There is 1 stage for music but not always something playing. Cant even begin to compare to a festival like lowell where there is so many unique ethnic foods and multiple music stages.

A few years ago we attended a nearby church's Fiddler's picnic. It was also a potluck supper. People brought lawn chairs and enjoyed the music. Some of the fiddlers were very young, others very experienced and had won awards. This was at a church in Canterbury NH but sorry, I can't remember what time of the year, perhaps August.
