26th Annual All You Can Eat Crab Feed @ Ocosta Recreation Hall
Mar 9 @ 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
26th Annual All You Can Eat Crab Feed @ Ocosta Recreation Hall
Westport’s famous Ocosta Booster Club Crab Feed is legendary! The 2024 extravaganza is Saturday, March 9 from noon to 6pm. This over-the-top fundraiser began in 1993. All proceeds benefit scholarships and programs for Ocosta School District students from Westport, Grayland, North Cove and Tokeland, Washington.
Westport, arguably Washington’s best beach community, is famous for many things. Yet, this annual event is one of the most popular drawing visitors from around the state to an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of Dungeness crab, cocktail sauce, spaghetti, garlic bread, and coleslaw. Beer, wine, cocktails, and sodas are sold separately.  
Event organizers said, “Our generous fishing families donate over 3000 pounds of fresh local Dungeness Crab.” This level of community support with a cadre of volunteers make this event worth staying the weekend in Unforgettable Grays Harbor County.
All ages are invited to attend this epic dinner at the Ocosta Rec Hall located at 45 Ocosta 6th Street. Although this is an Aberdeen address, the rec hall is located between Westport and Aberdeen, just a few blocks off State Route 105. 

Guests ages 13 and up can enjoy this feast for $40, it is $20 for those ages 6 to 12, kids age five and under are free. Tickets are available only at the door. The Booster Club accepts cash and credit cards. 

For advance tickets go to https://facebook.com/events/s/26th-annual-all-you-can-eat-cr/966985567712750/

 

If someone wanted to make a donation, they could send a check to Ocosta Booster Club, P.O. Box 1741, Westport, WA 98595. Email is ocostaboosterclub@gmail.com
