Date set for Rotary Crab Feast

CrabFeast07_64The Rotary Club of Annapolis is gearing up for its 71st annual Crab Feast on Friday, Aug. 5, 2016, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. This special event is not only the world’s largest crab feast but also a major fund-raiser which benefits local community and cultural organizations.                   

The feast is all-you-can-eat and drink, including large and #1 male crabs (the big ones) plus Maryland vegetable crab soup, sweet Maryland corn on the cob, beef barbeque sandwiches, all-American hot dogs, watermelon, draft beer, and assorted sodas and water. A bake sale and cake raffle can finish your feast with sweetness. Watermelon Queens from Maryland and surrounding states will slice and serve fresh watermelon. Also for sale will be Crab Feast T-shirts and other memorabilia.

Nearly 2,500 people are expected to attend and finish off 320 bushels of crabs, 3,400 ears of corn, 100 gallons of crab soup, 1,800 hot dogs, 150 pounds of beef barbeque, and hundreds of gallons of soft drinks and beer. The event will be held rain or shine, as most of the tables are protected from the weather.

Parking for the crab feast at the stadium is free.  No containers, drinks, backpacks, large bags, coolers or similar items will be allowed into the event. 

“While it is an all-you-can-eat affair, and you can take all you want, please eat all you take.  If you have more crabs than you need, please share with a neighbor.  This will reduce waste and help preserve a precious natural resource,” said Crab Feast chairman Sue Weber. 

Tickets go on sale after March 17, 2016.
