The Texas Crab Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration of coastal culture, delicious seafood, and family-friendly fun! Since its humble beginnings in 1985, when a group of local business leaders sought to boost tourism in Crystal Beach, the festival has grown into a beloved annual tradition, attracting thousands of visitors each Mother’s Day weekend.

Now Celebrating its 40th year, the Texas Crab Festival has been recognized as one of USA Today’s “10 Best Festivals to Dive Into” and featured on Food Network’s Eating America with Anthony Anderson.
