CRESCENT CITY- World
Championship Crab Races, and Crescent
City Crab, Wine and Cheese Festival
Feb. 12, 2011
Address: Crescent City Cultural Center, 1001 Front Street,
Time: 3 - 9 p.m. northcoastmmc.org
Trophies and awards will be given to the
world famous crab race. "World
Famous Championship Crab Races" return
to the way they were done at their
inception over forty years ago. Live
crab can be sponsored and will be taken
to the beach behind the Cultural Center,
released, and the ‘winner' is the crab
to reach the ocean first! While the
crabs may not run as fast as the sea
lions toward the ocean when they are
released, it will be an exciting
event!
Dungeness crab, California wines, and award winning Rumiano cheeses
are on the plate, along with live music, kids coloring contest, "best of" restaurant seafood contests, radio controlled "crab racing", and of course, the world famous Crescent City crab race! This free event is for the whole family!
Sponsorships are available and all proceeds go to support the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center www.northcoastmmc.org

Activities include a seafood championship contest
featuring area restaurants.
Trophies will be awarded
for "Best in Crescent City" for
the crabbiest dish, best seafood
chowder and best clam chowder.
In addition to all of the fun festivities,
it wouldn't be the Crab,
Wine, and Cheese Festival without
great food! Cooked crab will be
served and you will also have the
opportunity to purchase delicious
side dishes of your choice. For
those over 21 years old, you can
purchase a bottle of wine from our
