October 3rd, 2026
Join us for the Second Annual Vischer Ferry Lobsterama, hosted by the Vischer Ferry Volunteer Fire Company! On Saturday, October 3, 2026, our firehouse at 750 Grooms Road, Rexford, NY 12148, will once again become a lobster lover’s destination for a one-day, drive-through pickup event.
Enjoy premium, fresh-caught Maine lobsters, available either steamed and ready to eat or live to prepare at home. Simply pre-order your lobsters online, then drive through our parking lot for a quick and convenient pickup. Our lobsters are caught off the coast of Maine and delivered to us the very same morning, ensuring exceptional freshness, flavor, and quality.
Thanks to the tremendous support and feedback from last year’s event, we’ve expanded our offerings by adding multiple lobster size options, one of the most requested improvements from our customers. Whether you’re looking for a classic meal or an extra-large lobster to impress your guests, you’ll have more choices than ever before.
After an incredible inaugural event, we’re excited to bring Lobsterama back for an even better second year. Whether you’re continuing a new tradition or joining us for the first time, gather your family and friends and enjoy one of the Capital Region’s most unique fall food events. We look forward to serving you on October 3!
