San Pedro Lobster Fest Pioneer Business Owner  

We also heard from one business owner on the island that has been participating in the San Pedro Lobster Fest since its inception. Ana Najarro has had to increase her staff from one to fourteen employees during Lobster Fest. She is an example of the economic impact this event has on the island.

“I was very late and I called Ms. Rebecca and I said Ms. Rebecxa do you have a spot. She said unfortunately they didn’t have and it seemed like when they started they only had like fifteen or twenty booths around and she didn’t have a tent and I said don’t worry about the tent I will find one. So yes I am one of the few that had been there for seventeen years. The only two years I didn’t do lobster fest was when there was COVID. The crawl goes to several businesses. I don’t go into the crawl. I start preparing for lobster fest two or three months before because like I said I have been there. I started with me being solo at my booth to now having fourteen, fifteen staff members for the nights.”
