Crabfeast

For the 18th consecutive year, the Chesapeake Region Crab Feast, sponsored by Porsche Silver Spring, will be held at Kemptown Park in Monrovia, MD on Saturday, August 24th- rain or shine!   Bring your appetite and your Porsche for a wonderful, relaxing outing with friends and family. 

There will be tons of crab, shrimp, burgers, dogs and drinks that the Region will provide - not to mention tables of side dishes and desserts that you will provide.  Lighthouse Seafood of New Market will once again be steaming our crabs and jumbo shrimp.  We’ll have two pavilions at Kemptown Park, with reserved parking, and we have been assured the lovely breezes that have graced the event in the past will be returning for the 18th repeat of this event! A large playground will keep your young Porsche enthusiasts occupied and a real, honest-to-goodness bathroom with running water will appeal to the most persnickety of crab feast clean freaks.

One of the fun traditions of the Crab Feast is our non-competitive car show where cleanliness and condition have never mattered for cars to receive the attention of the judges.  It’s all tongue and cheek- the awards are always fun and unpredictable, and will be based on your Porsche’s unique curb appeal. 

This year’s event is once again scheduled on its traditional date the weekend before Labor Day.
