We'll be there with our Snakes of New England and the World Exhibit. And our Kids Activity. 

It’s a “Shell-A-Bration” 41 years in the making! Join us at Shepard Memorial Park in Essex on Saturday, October 24 from 11 AM to 4 PM for the 41st Annual Essex Clamfest — a day packed with coastal charm, local vendors, live music, and all the small-town fun we love. 

And don’t miss the legendary Clam Chowder Competition — where local restaurants go head-to-head for bragging rights - and your taste buds win! Come sample, vote, and crown the clam chowder champion of Cape Ann. Visit https://bit.ly/EssexClamFest for details!

Bring your appetite, your friends, and your fall spirit — see you in Essex!
