What is BC CrabFest?

Now in its fourth year, BC CrabFest is a one-day harbour celebration of BC waters, coastal food traditions, and the communities connected to them. Set at Ship Point in Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the festival is anchored in the Authentic BC Dungeness Crab Boil — a shared, hands-on meal cooked on-site and enjoyed dockside, at its freshest, surrounded by the people and place it comes from.

From live music and chef demonstrations to an Educational Marketplace, Seaside Family Zone, and local BC drinks, BC CrabFest connects guests to coastal food traditions, fishing families, and the rhythms of life on the water. This isn’t just a food event — it’s a harbour tradition in the making.

Presented by BC Crab Co., a family-run seafood business founded by commercial fishing families committed to sharing sustainably harvested BC Dungeness crab with local communities.
