Salcombe Crabfest celebrates the brown crab landed by Salcombe's fishing fleet. Organised by the Rotary Club of Salcombe and held for ten years, it is a non-profit charity event that has raised more than £80,000 for local causes.
The day features cookery demonstrations by award-winning and local chefs, hands-on activities and workshops for children, and live music, with events spread across the town from the Fish Quay to Whitestrand. Entry is free; a few events, such as a hosted lunch, need tickets.
A free Crabfest park-and-ride bus runs from the edge of town to Creek car park. Dogs on leads are welcome in outdoor areas.
