Annapolis Crab Feast Aug. 2 At Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The 74th annual Rotary Club of Annapolis Crab Feast will be held Friday, Aug. 2, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. As the world's largest crab feast not only satisfies people's cravings for large No. 1 male crabs and Maryland vegetable soup, but it also serves as the major fundraiser benefiting local organizations.

This all-you-can-eat and drink event also will feature sweet Maryland corn on the cob, beef barbecue sandwiches, draft beer, soda and water. For those with a sweet tooth, there also will be a bake sale and cake raffle.

Organizers hosting the event also remind attendees that it is a "Bay Responsible" zero-waste feast, which means nothing ends up in the landfill. Everything is recycled or composted with the help of the non-profit Annapolis Green.

Tickets bought in advance cost $70 per adult and $25 per child ages three to 12. To reserve a table that seats 10 or 12, the cost is $80 per person and preferred dining is $130 per person. Tickets can be bought from an Annapolis Rotary member or at the following locations:
