BC CrabFest is a celebration of British Columbia’s coastal culture, sustainable food systems, culinary excellence, and community connection rooted in stewardship of our local oceans and lands.

Anchored through the timeless tradition of the “Authentic BC Dungeness Crab Boil”, enjoyed in convenient “Crab Boil Buckets” filled with fresh crab, mussels, prawns and other local accompaniments. 

The festival offers vibrant live music, a Seaside Family Zone, cultural performances, educational exhibits, and it’s a fantastic fishing community bringing together both locals and our welcomed visitors to savour BC’s seafood and coastal tradition.
