CrabFest is a free, three day event held in downtown Port Angeles, Washington each October. The festival is held the same weekend as Canadian Thanksgiving, which falls on the second Monday of October. CrabFest hosts approximately 12,000 visitors each year, many traveling from out of the area!
The event is a mostly outdoor festival, held rain or shine – and it can get a little damp on the Washington coast in October! It’s a great weekend to pack your favorite rain boots, and enjoy free live music all day, a large vendor marketplace, activities for kids and the young at heart, two beer and wine gardens, and of course, amazing seafood! Whole and half crab dinners are available for purchase, as well as many local restaurants with their best seafood specialties.
