• Sonny Sixkiller to make Crab Festival Appearance
  The Port Angeles Crab and Seafood Festival is honored to feature Sonny Sixkiller, the “game changing” quarterback for the University of Washington Huskies (from 1970-72).  Sonny was an iconic figure in the early 70’s as he not only led winning teams but also because of his groundbreaking work as an American Indian athlete.  Sonny currently works closely with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in connecting community with tribal events and his presence at “CrabFest” marks the beginning of a long-term partnership with the Tribe and it’s commitment to the people of Clallam County. 
  Wearing Number 6 on his jersey, Sonny awed Northwest fans at the UofW and went on to co-star in The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds.  He was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 1985 and the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame in 1987. 
  Sonny will be at The Cedars of Dungeness food booth in the Gateway Center on Sunday October 9, from 11am-1pm.

And we have received national recognition:

Coastal Living magazine has named the Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival as one of the top 10 Fabulous Fall Festivals on the Coast. click

The Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival has been selected as one of the “Top 100 Events in North America” by the American Bus Association

 

The Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival is the annual celebration of the region's diverse bounty - the seafood, the maritime and cultural traditions and the breathtaking coastal environment. The festival's featured crustacean, the Dungeness Crab, was named after the village of Dungeness (near Port Angeles), Washington . The Festival is located at the Port Angeles City Pier and the Red Lion Hotel overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with Victoria , B.C. just a ferry ride away.
