USA Special Event Description:
For nearly fifty years the Kodiak Crab Festival has been the premier spring celebration in Alaska. Whether a spectator or participant the Crab Festival has something for everyone. The grand parade, amusement rides, Kayak races, a Search & Rescue demonstration performed by the US Coast Gaurd, a survival suit race, a Wild About Kodiak Seafood competition, bike races, an ultra marathon and belly dancers, just to name a few of the great events Crab Festival offers. No matter what you're looking for the Crab Festival has it. The annual fleet parade and blessing of the fleet reminds us of our ties to the sea and the Fisherman's Memorial is a solemn memorial to those lost at sea. Though events have come and gone through the years, the Kodiak Crab Festival remains a gala celebration -- a tribute to the commercial fishing industry that keeps Kodiak in the top fishing ports in the United States. The Kodiak Crab Festival offers something for everyone --- COME SEE FOR YOURSELF!!
