Second Annual SolMar Seafood Festival

The highly anticipated second edition of the SolMar Seafood Festival is set to take place from September 27th to 29th, 2024, at the iconic SolMar Restaurant in Newark’s Ironbound district. This event promises to be a grand finale to the season, offering guests an unforgettable weekend filled with the finest seafood and shellfish, sourced from Portuguese waters and beyond.

This year’s festival will showcase a variety of special dishes that highlight Portugal’s rich maritime traditions. Guests can enjoy Arroz de Marisco com Lagosta, a hearty seafood rice dish from the coast, brimming with lobster and fresh catch; Açorda de Mariscos, a rustic Alentejo stew made with bread, garlic, and shellfish; Feijoada de Mariscos, a northern bean stew with a seafood twist; and Caldeirada de Chocos, a delicate cuttlefish stew from coastal towns, all perfectly paired with Portuguese wines.

Since its establishment in 1969, SolMar Restaurant has been a beloved staple of Newark culture, renowned for its dedication to authentic Portuguese cuisine. The restaurant’s commitment to excellence was recently recognized when 24/7 Tempo selected SolMar as the leading seafood eatery in New Jersey, a testament to its enduring legacy and high reputation.
