Crabfest

BC CrabFest is a one-day harbour gathering that brings people together around local seafood, live music, and coastal experiences. Set along Victoria’s Inner Harbour at Ship Point, the festival is anchored by the BC Dungeness Crab Boil, a hands-on meal featuring fresh, locally harvested crab, cooked on-site and served by the water. Spend the day by the harbour cracking crab, listening to live music, and exploring a mix of food, culture, and hands-on activities for all ages.

Event is free to attend, tickets for crab boil can be purchased here

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xÊ·məθkwÉ™y̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and SÉ™lÌ“ílwÉ™taÊ”/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
