Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival October 13 & 14, 2012
The Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival is the annual celebration of the region's diverse bounty - the seafood, the maritime and cultural traditions and the breathtaking coastal environment. The festival's featured crustacean, the Dungeness Crab, was named after the village of Dungeness (between Sequim and Port Angeles), Washington. Visit the Wine & Beer Garden at Crab Central and sample selected wines from all eight wineries in a single location. The Festival is located at the Port Angeles City overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The eight award winning artisan wineries of the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington invite you to visit and sample their full array of wines during the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival. The Olympic Peninsula Wineries will be open Saturday, Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 14. Wineries will be open according to their tasting room schedule. Customary tasting fees will apply.
