Crab Fest 2024

July 20 | 4:00pm - 8:00pm | B&O Railroad Museum

On Saturday, July 20, rain briefly fell and temps dropped to the 80s. But at the B&O Railroad Museum, our annual Crab Fest presented by Defender One was heating up.

More than 1,600 guests joined us for the only Maryland festival for all things crab served in every form—indulging in crustaceous bites and summery drinks by more than 20 vendors. Beer, wine, and specialty cocktails flowed while Baltimoreans picked their way through this year’s Chesapeake Bay bounty. Tunes by Fifty Bucks for Betty and Rick and the Revolving Doors provided the perfect soundtrack and festive vibes.

Many thanks to our sponsors for helping us bring our July crab issue to life—and ring in the summer the best way we know how, with the ultimate crab feast:
