In 2020, Chowderfest lasts for a month, and a “virtual” chowder run is a thing.

The serious sipping has moved to restaurant courtyards rather than one big tent this year, and a remote run/walk/bike that is another event in ChowderMonth has people in motion all over the East.

For Chowder Month 2020, the soup’s on, but there is no onsite festival due to COVID-19 restrictions, as anyone knows who’s been doing their tasting since Day One on Sept. 5.
