Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival
October 6 - October 8
Crabfest is Happening in 2023!
Join the fun at the annual CrabFest in Port Angeles, Washington — one of the most acclaimed food festivals in the country and in Washington state! The festival celebrates not only the aquaculture, agriculture and maritime traditions of the breathtaking Olympic Peninsula, but brings food, art, music, Native American activities, and children’s events into one spectacular 3-day event for everyone. Located on the gorgeous Port Angeles waterfront next to Olympic National Park and a short ferry ride from sparkling Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the event celebrates the world-famous Dungeness Crab, named after the nearby village of Dungeness, and the bounty of the sea.
Featuring over a dozen local restaurants, cooking demonstrations with celebrity chefs, Chowder Cook-Off, the Grab-a-Crab Derby, a Northwest spirits bar, local wine and craft beer, crafts and merchant vendors, live music, and many more events. Keep up with new announcements at the official Facebook page here. You’ll want to stay where all the action is, so book your room early at the Red Lion Hotel or one of many other hotels and motels in Port Angeles. Rain or shine, this is the crab party of the season and admission is FREE!

NW Garlic Festival
https://opwa.com/northwest-garlic-festival/
For decades it had been “Chic to Reek” in Ocean Park on the 3rd weekend in June.
Well, we’ve made a calendar change and missed a couple of years, but we are ready to roll again on September 16 & 17, 2022!
Come join us for two fun-filled days of entertainment, plus food and artisan craft vendors. This is the ideal place to buy all of your favorite garlic variety items and condiments that you cannot find at your local stores and have been waiting to purchase since 2019! It’s also the place to buy this year’s 40th NW Garlic Poster…the wait is over!
Celebrate the passion for this exalted bulb with the faithful throngs who make their annual pilgrimage to the NW Garlic Festival held at the beautiful Port of Peninsula, on Willapa Bay, just east of the beachside community of Ocean Park, Washington, (the north end of the Long Beach Peninsula). This GARLIC Olympics of Gastronomy is not held for the region’s GARLIC growing ability. This Festival was born out of love of great, GARLIC laden cuisine and first creating by the owners and chefs of the Ark Restaurant, Jimella Lucas and Nanci Main.
After enjoying the festival, check out our villages ~ Ocean Park, Klipsan Beach, Nahcotta, Surfside and Oysterville offer great food, lodging, shopping and incredible nature walks…and of course, there is the beach! Great to stroll, relax, beachcomb, and make sandcastles, but the water can be dangerous to swim.
