A Harbour Celebration of Food, Music & Ocean Stories.
Now in its fourth year, BC CrabFest is a harbour gathering celebrating BC waters, coastal food traditions, and the communities connected to them. The festival is anchored in the Authentic BC Dungeness Crab Boil, cooked on-site by local chefs and enjoyed dockside at its freshest. The day fills out with live music headlined by Adrian Chalifour of Towers and Trees, family-friendly activities, an educational marketplace, and sunset drinks by the harbour.
Fresh from BC's coast, served dockside at Victoria's Inner Harbour.

Volunteer & Get Involved
All hands on deck. Join our Green Team, help with the crab boil, or work the box office on event day, we'd love to have you on board.
We acknowledge that BC CrabFest takes place on the traditional, unceded territories of the Lekwungen-speaking Peoples, including the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and within the wider coastal territories of neighbouring Nations. These waters have been cared for and sustained for generations. We recognize that our work exists because of these waters, and we are committed to showing respect through how we gather, share food, and support stewardship of the coast.
