Volunteering at CrabFest offers a unique opportunity to represent Port Angeles to a diverse crowd who gather from around the globe! This festival, the largest of its kind in the country, famously sells about 7 tons of Dungeness Crab each year. As a volunteer, you’ll not only get to share your love for the Olympic Peninsula and its traditions, but also contribute to the success of this exciting event.

As part of your involvement, you will be provided with a distinctive Crab Crew t-shirt. Those committing to at least two shifts of four hours each will also receive a voucher for a crab dinner as a token of appreciation, along with the community’s gratitude.

Volunteer Roles Include:

• Table Assistants
• Greeters
• Information, Merchandise, or Ticketing Booth
• Line Control
• Crab Serving Booth
• Crabs To Go on the Pier
• Serving Wine/Beer
• Set Up & Break Down

Coordinator Positions: Compensated opportunities are available for those interested in overseeing areas of the festival. If interested, please email our Executive Director, Rose at rose@crabfestival.org.

Volunteer Training: All volunteers are encouraged to attend a training session the week prior to CrabFest to learn about new updates, how to handle transactions, and other necessary details. This session will also cover any changes to the festival’s program.
