Catch: The Nova Scotia Seafood Festival

Fish and shellfish lovers should bring their appetites down to the second annual CATCH Festival, featuring vendors sampling seafood products, culinary demonstrations, "celebrity food guests," live entertainment and more. Tickets are $10 for adults, including two tasting tickets for product samples, and free for children under 12. Seafood professionals will be on hand to teach you about everything from properly preparing seafood to sustainability to why seafood is good for you. If you're looking for something a bit more active, get yourself to the oyster-shucking contest on Sunday, competing for the championship title---master shuckers can sign up now online. –Laura Kenins
