False Creek Crab Fest

At the heart of the festival is BC’s iconic Dungeness Crab, prepared in a delicious crab boil experience created by acclaimed local chefs including Vish Mayekar and Johnny Bridge. Guests will enjoy a whole locally harvested crab paired with BC Craft beverages while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Vancouver’s working harbour.

Set against the scenic backdrop of False Creek Fishermen’s Wharf, the festival offers guests a rare opportunity to connect directly with local fishers, while enjoying one of Vancouver’s most scenic waterfront views. With live music, games, and educational booths, this vibrant outdoor event is fun for all ages. Come out and be part of the celebration. 

False Creek Crab Fest is a celebration with purpose. The event raises awareness for the sustainable management of British Columbia’s crab fishery and supports the future of the food and hospitality community. Proceeds help advance initiatives led by Chefs’ Table Society, including CTS’s culinary scholarships, mentorships, sustainability projects, and the development of The Commons by CTS – a gathering place dedicated to strengthening BC’s food and hospitality sector. Support the cause by attending.
