CHOWDERFEST

October 8th

from Noon to 3:00 pm

Admission $5

The origin of the dish we fondly know as "chowder" is said to hail from fishing villages along the coast of France from Bordeaux to Brittany.  Though there are also early European references made in the Cornwall region of Southwestern England located just across the English Channel.

But the fact is, most maritime regions around the globe exhibit ocean fare bearing a remarkable likeness to what we call "chowder".  And as any New Englander can attest, the heritage of this remarkably varied and deliciously satisfying dish runs as deep in these parts as the sea providing its inspiration.
