One of the highlights of every Branford Summer is the Chamber’s Annual Lobster Clambake at the Owenego INN. Drawing over 300 people, this event features a typical New England Dinner featuring Corn on the Cobb, Lobster, Steamers Clam Chowder and more! (For those that do not eat lobster there is a steak or vegetarian option as well as a light fare plan.) Be entertained by bands and DJs, win raffles and bid on magnificent silent auction gifts…as you border beautiful Long Island Sound.
