Spectacle on Spectacle Brings Gourmet Eats and Drinks to Boston Harbor Islands on June 21, 2018

The ultimate Boston summer food festival might be Spectacle on Spectacle, which brings guests to Spectacle Island, part of the Boston Harbor Islands, for a food and drink extravaganza complete with a ferry ride to and from the island.

Since last year, the Boston Harbor Now has signed on Barbara Lynch to be in charge of their culinary programs, so you can bet her restaurants will be participating at the event as they did last year. This year's Spectacle on Spectacle will take place on June 21, 2018 and there will also be a fireworks display.

The evening starts with a ferry ride to Spectacle Island, and there were appetizer stations and beer/wine served on the boat. It actually did rain that evening during the event, but they were ready with tents and the rain didn't stop any of us from having a blast.

There were other great Boston restaurants participating last year in addition to the Barbara Lynch Gruppo. Some of my favorite dishes included this sea trout crudo from SRV.

There's of course, the iconic butter soup (with mussels and caviar) from Barbara Lynch's Menton.

Wagyu steak, also from Barbara Lynch's group of restaurants.

Cape Cod's Mac's Seafood was on hand shucking Wellfleet oysters and clams.

It's not just the food, but Spectacle on Spectacle paid attention to all the details. Loved the decor of the tables as well and the New England island style!

The ferry will be leaving at three scheduled times on the way there and on the return trip.

Proceeds from the event goes to support Boston Harbor Now's work to keep the waterfront, harbor, and islands healthy and vibrant. Tickets to Spectacle on Spectacle can be purchased here.
