Join us on Oregon’s North Coast for a weekend of food, fun, and flavor at the Astoria Warrenton Crab & Wine Fest. The festival brings together more than 150 vendors, featuring coastal eats, delicious wine and hand-crafted arts, creating a lively marketplace full of nostalgic favorites and new discoveries. Expect a crowd as diverse as the offerings: foodies, families, longtime regulars and first-time explorers all flock to this weekend celebration.

This popular event returns to the Clatsop County Fair & Expo Center, just outside of Astoria, Oregon. Hosted by the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce since 1982, and sponsored by Fred Meyer and Toyota, the festival welcomes thousands of attendees over the weekend.

Sip your way through Oregon’s renowned wine regions with 40 wineries dispersed among the rows of vendors. Local craft beer and small-batch spirits are also flowing. Don’t forget to swing by the Hydration Station, sponsored by NW Natural, to stay refreshed!

Treat your taste buds to the best of the Pacific Northwest, with a mouth-watering selection of dishes from a dozen food vendors, including crab, seafood, and other tasty delights—from fair favorites to global cuisine.

Enjoy a mix of styles from blues and folk to rock on two stages. Saturday’s lineup features tributes Roll On Alabama, Secondhand Seattle and Budokan Cheap Trick tributes that bring classic hits to life. There’s a performance for every taste and tempo!

Plan ahead: Parking is limited at the venue, so take advantage of the convenient shuttle service from local lodging and park & ride locations. Tickets are available now and online purchase includes free return entry on Sunday.

Get all the details, including event hours, ticket prices, entertainment schedules, and shuttle routes, at astoriacrabfest.com.

    I would love to attend this event! I just moved here not too long ago from California and want to live the Oregon experience!

  2. Dan Green on March 17, 2026 at 4:18 pm

    Going to this festival has been a long time tradition for my friend and I. My friend’s birthday falls very close to the dates each year and we go. I have lovingly called it the “whack a crab festival” We would love to win the tickets this fest. Thanks-

  3. Lynn on March 19, 2026 at 5:41 am

    Haven’t been to Astoria in years, would love to go to this fun filled festival!

    • Bronwyn on April 3, 2026 at 12:35 am

      I would love to wine a bit and get crabby. This sounds like the perfect excuse to do that.
      Thank you for this contest.

  4. Terri Bartlett on March 19, 2026 at 2:50 pm

    Do I need a reason for any festival? Nah, just bring a smile and a good time! I need more socialization in my life… I’d even pimp out a crab hat all day…

  5. Casey on March 19, 2026 at 2:57 pm

    My gf and our anniversary are on this date and she love wine and this would be an epic trip to make some serious memories!

  6. Bridget Smith on March 19, 2026 at 2:57 pm

    This festival (and the crustaceans) are the only crabs I want! lol
    Pick me!

  7. Jenn on March 19, 2026 at 3:21 pm

    I live in Cottage Grove, which is firmly landlocked. The closest thing I get to crab is whatever falls out of my grocery store’s sad little seafood section. I NEED this festival. My taste buds are begging. My soul is empty. Only Oregon crab and 40 wineries can save me now.

  8. Robert Hill on March 19, 2026 at 3:23 pm
