Crab Fest and the Community

Olympic Coast Cuisine

The Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival has introduced Olympic Coast Cuisine. Olympic Coast Cuisine has been developing over the past several years with the infusion of very talented and experienced chefs into the region. These chefs are utilizing the cultural and food resources of the Olympic Peninsula in their food preparation and presentation. The Festival brings this unique concept to the public and provides local producers the opportunity to present Olympic Peninsula products to a broader consumer base.

Environmental Education

The Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival will help visitors learn about the natural environment of the Olympic Peninsula and specifically about current issues in Clallam County. The Festival is partnering with local environmental educational organizations to provide educational activities designed to create a better understanding of the natural resources and issues facing the Olympic Peninsula.

Mission

Olympic Peninsula Celebrations is a Washington State nonprofit corporation dedicated to preserving, protecting and sharing the traditions and cultures of the Olympic Peninsula through a wide range of educational programs, festivals, and special events.

Financial Proceeds

A portion of the proceeds of the Festival will be distributed to educate people about our local watersheds and habitats and toward other environmental issues that effect local aquiculture and agriculture.
