Drive-Thru Crab Feeds 2021 Guide: SF Bay Area

The beloved extravaganzas are back! The formats have changed. But the crab still is tasty, and fundraising goals remain the same.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CA — Grab your crab crackers, bibs, and melt the butter! The always-popular, much-anticipated crab feeds are back for 2021 in communities throughout the Bay Area.

Missing this year, due to the pandemic, are the all-you-can-eat, in-person gatherings. A drive-thru style is the option for multitudes of organizations still keen on raising funds for their various charities.

Do note that at most upcoming feeds, pre-ordering is required — sometimes a few weeks in advance. So don't delay on reservations.
