Make plans to join us for the 40th Annual Texas Crab Festival in Crystal Beach, Texas. We do it up Gulf Coast Style - with more Music, Art and Crabs than you can shake a claw at. USA Today called it one of the “10 Best Food Festivals to Dive Into”. The Texas Crab Festival features a Crab Gumbo Cookoff, Crab Races, and an assortment of vendors serving up local seafood specialties like, bbq crabs, crab cakes, stuffed crab and more. The festival also includes a 5K Run, Wiener Dog Races, a washers tournament, a Kidz Zone, arts & craft booths and a full schedule of music and entertainment designed with the whole family in mind. It’s an experience so deliciously unique that it was featured on the Food Network’s “Eating America with Anthony Anderson”.
