Get ready to crab it up at the Mandurah Museum from March 4 to April 4, 2025, with an exhibition that takes a delightful dive into the origins of our favourite crustacean-themed festival. This isn't just about pinching crabs; it's about celebrating a local tradition that has evolved from a few folks catching crabs to a full-blown festival that has won the hearts of many. You'll uncover the juicy details of how a simple hobby blossomed into Crab Fest—a gathering that went from 3,000 enthusiastic crab lovers in 1999 to over 100,000 partygoers today.

You won't want to miss the treasure trove of intriguing photographs and amusing newspaper clippings that capture memorable moments and quirky competitions like the Crazy Crab Capers, Celebrity Bed Race, and Opera on the Bay. Trust me, each year brings a fresh batch of entertainment and unique experiences, so you never know what kind of shenanigans you might stumble into. And the best part? Entry is completely free, so you don't have to shell out any cash to join in on the fun. Just swing by from Tuesday to Friday, 10am to 3pm, and let the crab madness begin.
