Two words can be used to describe the Rotary Club of Annapolis’ annual Crab Feast, held at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium each August: tradition and prestige. The event is considered the largest of its kind in the world, according to the organization’s website. It also started in 1945 by the 101-year-old nonprofit. “It’s certainly a big deal that we have been around for so long,” Rotary Club President Rob Dews says. This year’s event, held August 5th, attracted about 1,000 attendees who consumed 125 bushes of crabs. Guests also enjoyed beer and soda, watermelon, pulled pork, hamburgers, and hot dogs. The event raised more than $50,000, which will benefit about 30 local charities. “We support a wide array of community service projects throughout the year,” Dews says. “The crab feast is a good way to support other organizations and the multifaceted services they provide.” Learn more at annapolisrotary.org/crabfeast.
