Blue Crab Festival
Little River (mid-May)
This is a huge annual festival in mid-May in the tiny town of Little River.
Food and beverage is sold from dozens of vendor stands mixed among the riverfront restaurants, craft and tee shirt sales. Plenty of blue crab is available this time of year, but shrimp, fish and additional foods are equally popular.
Entertainment is by popular regional groups such as the Tim Clark Band, Craig Woolard Band or maybe Jim Quick and Coastline.
Parking is usually available in a small lot near the entrance, and there’s a small fee to get in the festival gate.
