Crab Festival is sponsored by the Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. What started out as a church fair has evolved to an event that attracts visitors from around the Gulf Coast areas.

Much of it is under the shade of giant oak trees, but tents and pavilions are set up on the grounds. Families known for their special dishes prepare most of the food for the event. Specialities and seafood of all kinds are available along with standard fare!
