Get ready for a great week-end of mussel tasting with the 2nd Annual Indian Point/Mahone Bay Mussel Festival. Described as a spring celebration of local mussels and wine, the festival offers tours of the Indian Point Marine Farm, wine tasting by local wineries, a myriad of mussel dishes served up in the local restaurants, music and story telling. The festival aims to encourage the enjoyment of our various local and seasonal food traditions. “There is a long, rich history here of making a living from the sea. We want to celebrate that and keep in touch with it – even as it changes…the goal here is to eat, drink and marvel at mussels.”
