Festival Info 

WELCOME

CrabFest invites everyone to join one of the premier seafood festivals in the nation, situated on the waterfront of Port Angeles. This annual festivity honors the rich variety of the Olympic Peninsula, celebrating not just the iconic Dungeness crab, but also the local seafood, agriculture, and aquaculture. It’s an event where maritime history and cultural traditions are embraced amidst the spectacular natural scenery of the area. Located just a few miles from the origins of its namesake, Dungeness Bay, CrabFest is a vibrant celebration of all that the Olympic Peninsula and its communities have to offer.
