UPDATE (18 January 2022) - 2022 Mandurah Crab Fest cancelled

On 17 January 2022, it was decided to not proceed with the 2022 Mandurah Crab Fest.

The decision to not hold the much-loved event had not been made lightly. We're at a crucial stop-go point where we need to weigh up the risks, based on what we know at this point in time.

We’re taking a common-sense approach based on the current significant uncertainty around holding major events. With everything we know right now, it would not be a responsible decision to proceed.

Fresh food, live music, performances, children’s entertainment, competitions, cooking demonstrations, celebrities, aquatic entertainment… the list goes on. If you want a taste of Mandurah this is the festival for you!

This festival is for crabs and people only - leave your pets at home.
