NATIONAL HARD CRAB DERBY & FAIR CRISFIELD MD

The Hard Crab Derby is an annual attraction every year down at Crisfield, MD, right on the Chesapeake Bay.
It usually features a Carnival, with which I used to work, a Cooking Contest, a crab peeling contest, a boat docking contest and of course the Beauty Queen Contest, a huge parade, and last but not least The Hard Crab Races, with crabs entered representing many states. It always runs the weekend befor Labor Day and closes Sunday night.
