International Crab Fest Day– always observed on September 14th
It’s time to grab your Crab baskets and head to the Seashore if you live near the Sea. If not then you should go to your local Seafood store for Crabs. Then et out the steamer and start boiling the water. Don’t forget to melt Butter. Don’t forget the bibs because today is International Crab Fest Day. I betcha a lot of Crabs are steamed about that!
There are two things people know. First, Crabs can be found all over the world. Second, Crabs are one of the sweetest, most popular of all Seafood. Also, the fact that people consume over 1.5 million tons of Crabs worldwide every year is a testimonial to the Crabs culinary popularity. While Steaming Crabs is the most popular, you can bake, boil, grill, or prepare Crabs in a wide variety of recipes.”
Did you know there are thousands of varieties of Crabs which range in size from 5 inches across, to over 13 feet! Fishermen have a second reason to celebrate Crabs today. They use the little Crabs to catch Lunker Bass and other Fish. As for the largest varieties, well let’s just say they’d make one heck of a Crab fest!

History and Origin of International Crab Fest Day
Bob Matthews, author of Holiday Insights created International Crab Fest Day in 2018 to recognize and celebrate one of the world’s most popular Seafood the Crab. It is fitting that International Crab Fest Day is an “international’ holiday, because Crabs are found and consumed all over the world. Finally, a date in September was chosen, because the Weather cools in September. Clam and Seafood bakes become popular during the late Summer to Fall Season.
