Crab Fest
Catching local land crabs is part of the culture
of Middle Caicos and their annual Crab Fest
showcases a distinctive aspect of the islands’
heritage.
Rain and crabs at springtime! As the crab holes
fill with water, the occupants are forced to
come out and eager crab-catchers are usually
waiting to scoop them up. The crabs are
plenty and the art of catching them may be
something you’ll have to learn, but the thrill of
the catch can be quite a fun experience.
Crab Fest presents a splendid opportunity
for local chefs to demonstrate the very many
ways land crabs can be tastily prepared and
enjoyed even by the most discerning of
palates.
The event will be held at Bambarra Beach from
10:00 am on June 29th and it goes on all day!
