Welp… we are signing off! 🦀 What an incredible weekend at the Palatka Blue Crab Festival 2026! We laughed, danced, ate good food, met amazing people, and made memories we won’t forget. But now… these crab claws are officially TIRED 😂💤

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the vendors, enjoyed the entertainment, and showed love all weekend long. Until next year, Palatka… stay crabby! 🦀❤️

Thank you to Travelin' Tom's Coffee of St. Augustine for keeping us from getting crabby with some delicious coffee and refreshing drinks during the Palatka Blue Crab Festival! Nothing keeps the Crab Crew going like a good caffeine boost! ☕🦀

The Palatka Blue Crab Festival has featured packed crowds, food trucks, vendors, live music, and nonstop community support throughout Memorial Day weekend.
