Okay, wrap your seafood-loving head and heart around this.  With more than 50 local food vendors and 70 local artisans descending onto Hampton Beach's main boulevard, get ready for the party filled with a smorgasbord of flavors in every course.  And where do you eat such a meal over and over again, because who won't go back for seconds and then some?  Why, you can do so at New England’s Largest Outdoor Bar, according to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival website, where you can enjoy cocktails, beer, or alcohol-free fun to go, along with incredible seafood.

I'm talking about the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival, named one of North America's top 100 events to see, according to its website.  It's the 34th year for this incredible beach and seafood party, where live music and fireworks engulf Hampton Beach. According to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival website, these two stages have a full lineup of live music all weekend September 8-10 with folk, rock, swing, pop, and '80s perfection.  There are more than 19 artists and bands in total, with that perfect end-of-summer soundtrack.
