The Blue Crab Festival is back: May 22nd - 24th, 2026
And we’re building a lineup worth cracking claws over.

From local makers and artists to crowd-favorite food trucks, this weekend is all about flavor, creativity, and community.

Whether you serve it, sell it, or create it —
We’d love to have you on the riverfront..

Why choose the Blue Crab festival?

  • Thousands in Attendance
    High foot traffic all weekend with locals, tourists, and repeat festival-goers.

  • Group Hotel Rates
    Discounted lodging at select local hotels for out-of-town vendors and food trucks.

  • Heavy Promotion
    Vendor shoutouts across social media, website listings, and event marketing leading up to the festival.

  • Curated Vendor Mix
    We limit overlap to keep variety high and competition fair.

  • Easy Load-In & Support
    Clear setup instructions, vendor coordination, and on-site support throughout the weekend.

  • A Festival With Momentum
    The Blue Crab Festival is a community comeback — and vendors are a big part of that story.

This isn’t just another weekend market — it’s a high-energy, waterfront festival bringing the Blue Crab back bigger and better than ever. When you vend with us, you’re getting more than a booth… you’re getting exposure, support, and a packed crowd.
