Clambake & Lobster Feast

September 17 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

102nd Annual Clambake & Lobster Feast


Presenting Sponsor


Historic Crew Stadium

One Black and Gold Blvd
Columbus, OH 43211

For more than a century, the Columbus Chamber of Commerce has brought together community and business leaders for one of the region’s most anticipated events—the Clambake & Lobster Feast. In 2026, we’re reimagining the experience.

Join more than 1,200 attendees for a high-energy, immersive evening at Historic Crew Stadium. Instead of a traditional seated dinner, guests will explore food stations throughout the venue, featuring a wide variety of menu offerings—including expanded menu options—while still delivering the seafood favorites that define Clambake.

Step into a lively waterfront pier atmosphere where connection happens naturally. Spend time on The Boardwalk engaging with interactive booths hosted by Chamber member businesses, enjoy small bites and friendly competition, and make your way to The Market for signature offerings like the lobster roll. Relax, network, and enjoy live music as you take in the experience.

Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy a selection of beer, wine, and tastings from local businesses—all designed to create a dynamic, flexible environment that brings the Columbus Region business community together in a meaningful way.

September 17 @ 5-8 PM

Boardwalk and Market Open | 5-7:30 PM
