The History of the World's Largest Crab Feast

Held rain or shine since 1946, the 79th Annual Rotary Crab Feast is one of the longest-running and most popular summertime traditions in Annapolis!

Known as “the world’s largest crab feast,” the all-you-can-eat (and drink) event invites folks from near and far to get their fill of Maryland’s famous blue crabs – 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 – at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium each August.

The Rotary Club of Annapolis directs 100% of proceeds from the event to the local community and cultural nonprofit organizations through grants of up to $4,000. Plus, the organization works with Annapolis Green, a local environmental group, to keep the Feast “zero-waste” by collecting and turning roughly 20,000 pounds of crab shells, corn cobs, watermelon rinds, plates, cups, cutlery, and napkins into “Christmas Crab Compost” that is sold to the public each December.
