Congratulations to our 2026 King Lobster Contest Winner, Fred Falconer!

A highlight of every Pictou Lobster Carnival, the King Lobster Contest celebrates the incredible lobster fishery and the hardworking fishermen who are at the heart of our community. They are the reason that we have our yearly Carnival! We appreciate all of the entries and interest we received in the King Lobster Contest, and congratulate Mr. Falconer on his 10.74 pound Lobster! 🎉🦞🎪
