Oregon's Adventure Coast release - Plan your getaway to Oregon’s Adventure Coast: Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston for the 41st Annual Charleston Crab Feed Fundraiser at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology on Saturday, February 14, 2026.  Oregon’s Adventure Coast: Coos Bay, North Bend, Charleston, is known for its beautiful natural scenery and adventure. But when February arrives, fresh Oregon Dungeness crab takes center stage.  If winter has you feeling crabby, or you’re just craving some fresh, delicious Dungeness crab, head to Charleston, Oregon, for the 41st Annual Charleston Crab Feed on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 11 am to 4 pm at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology on Boat Basin Road.  The annual “crab alanche” seafood fundraiser, organized by the Charleston Merchants Association, brings hundreds of crab fans together at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology for a delicious feast you will never forget. Roughly 900 pounds of fresh Dungeness crab are served each year, caught by local fishermen out of Charleston and prepared by the team at Chuck’s Seafood. Proceeds from the event help support the Charleston Visitor Center.  “This annual tradition has been bringing people together for over four decades,” said Janice Langlinais, Executive Director of the Coos Bay-North Bend-Charleston Visitor and Convention Bureau. “Hundreds of visitors from all over Oregon travel here to gather with our community, savor fresh local Dungeness crab, and show support for the merchants and families that make Charleston’s fishing community so special.”  Guests can enjoy whole or half Dungeness crab at market price, served with side dishes and a roll. If you don’t eat crab, a gourmet hot dog lunch with sides will also be offered.  Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about local marine life and conservation from South Slough Estuary and the Oregon Crab Commission. And of course, don’t forget to enter for a chance to win raffle prizes generously donated by businesses throughout Charleston, Coos Bay, and North Bend! Ticket prices are based on market value.
