Advance-Purchase Crab Dinners

Our featured Dungeness crab dinners are on sale now!  To manage a volatile seafood market and the high cost of crab, it is recommended that crab dinners be ordered in advance of the festival.  This pre-order strategy guarantees your dinner and locks in the price, because — crab dinners at the festival will be at market price as long as supplies last! 

Dungeness crab curbside pickup – Friday and Saturday only
Order online by Thursday prior to the festival.

Can’t attend the festival weekend? Don’t worry! Pick up your succulent Dungeness crab “to go” on Friday or Saturday and savor a whole fresh crab dinner at home. Dinners are ordered online only, and are chilled at the time of purchase. Simply enjoy as-is, or warm them; our festival visitors like them both ways! (also served with cole slaw and corn on the cob for the full meal deal.) 

Online advance purchase is required no later than Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 6 p.m. 

Dinner pick-up will be scheduled for Friday, October 11, and Saturday, October 12, only; choose 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m., or 6 p.m.
