The Salcombe Crab Festival (Crabfest) is an annual, family-friendly event held in the coastal town of Salcombe, Devon, celebrating the area’s famous brown crab and its rich fishing heritage. It brings together locals and visitors for a lively day of seafood, with highlights including cookery demonstrations by top chefs, crab-picking masterclasses, food and craft stalls, live music, and activities for all ages.

Beyond the food, the festival showcases Salcombe’s fishing, tourism, and local produce industries, while also raising money for community charities through its organisation by the Rotary Club of Salcombe.
