The event is sponsored by the SouthCoast Chamber of Commerce and will be held Sunday, October 13 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., under a tent at Pier 3 on the waterfront.

Dozens of restaurants, caterers and assisted living facilities will compete to determine who has the best clam chowder, fish chowder and stuffed quahogs in the area. The Chamber's Deven Robitallie visits Townsquare Sunday this weekend to take about the Festival and the latest happenings at the Chamber.
