Only in Baltimore, mateys: a crab feast where the costumes are as mandatory as the mallets. Nine years in, the Halloween Crabfeast has become one of the city’s most gloriously on-brand traditions — cracking steamed crabs dusted in spice while dressed as everything from pirates (respect) to whatever the kids are being these days.
It’s the perfect collision of two Baltimore religions: picking crabs and doing Halloween properly. Come hungry, come costumed, and for the love of Old Bay, wear something washable — flying shell fragments wait for no one.
Details and tickets are through Eventbrite — confirm times and what’s included before ye set sail, as the particulars can shift. See ye at the tables. — The Captain 🏴☠️
