Travel to Boston for Chowderfest
The Boston Chowderfest, also known as the Chowdahfest, is a competition between restaurants in the greater Boston area for the best New England style clam chowder. Taking place on the first Sunday in July during the Boston Harborfest, the Boston Chowderfest offers a variety of clam chowder. From thick to thin, consisting of potatoes and clams, the style of chowder is all over the board.
2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the Boston Chowderfest. This event takes place in the gated area of City Hall Plaza and is open to participants of all ages. For no more than $12, you can sample all of the chowder you desire or until you have had your fill. This contest even gives you the opportunity to re-try any of your favorite chowders and when you have had enough you can vote for what you think is the best one.
While the Chowderfest is a part of the Boston Harborfest, there is more to experience than just the famous clam chowder of New England. Enjoy great music at the festivals concerts and don’t miss out on the party on the Plaza at City Hall. Bring your kids and participate in fun filled activities and games at the children’s day as well.
Whether you are a local or a tourist, the Boston Chowderfest is the event to attend. If you are a tourist, it is a great way to sample local food. If you are a local, it is a great way to gain knowledge of the best clam chowder New England has to offer.
