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.

What to expect:

BC Dungeness Crab Boil (pre-purchase recommended — limited quantities) Live music and performances throughout the day Family Zone with activities for kids Educational Marketplace focused on ocean health and coastal life Local food vendors and BC beverages Chef demonstrations and coastal storytelling
