Crab Festival @ St. Mary's Fairgrounds

Bring a crab-obsessed friend or family member to sample a variety of crab dishes. Steamed crabs, crab soups, crab cakes, and other seafood dishes will be available. This celebration's upbeat atmosphere is provided by live music and local entertainment. Before or after your meal, take a peek at the local artisans. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted present or something with a 'crabby' theme, this is the place to go.

A Crab Picking Contest with a Twist
This is your opportunity to demonstrate your crab-picking prowess while also winning a trophy. Each person's "pickings," which will be stripped of all non-meat ingredients, will be weighed by the contest judges. The Crab Festival, hosted by the Leonardtown Lions Club, honors St. Mary's crab culture and cuisine.
