CrabFest Returns!

CrabFest is coming! Since the first year was such an outrageous success, the fest is returning to San Diego on Saturday, January 28, 2017 for a 2nd year of crabby glory.

More than 2,000 guests are expected to descend upon the corner of C St. from 12pm – 7pm for live music from local jazz and blues bands and fresh seafood from The Crab House.

Here’s a quick look at some of the fine fishy options of the day:

  • Varieties of hard and soft shell crabs, oysters and shrimp from across the country
  • King Crab Bites
  • Lobster Rolls
  • Clam Chowder
  • Fish Tacos, and more!

Not to mention, this year there will be a great assortment of flavorful beers and cocktails. So even if you’re not a seafood kind of person, come and get your drink on!

Kids 12 and under are free. All food and beverage are additional and can be purchased by buying Crab Bucks at the festival. For tix ($10) and more info, check out the link below.
