Ocean Shores Culinary Delight: The 2024 Razor Clam & Seafood Festival

Ocean Shores is gearing up to host the much-anticipated 2024 Razor Clam & Seafood Festival, a celebration of the finest seafood delicacies. Scheduled from March 15th to 17th, this event promises a tantalizing array of seafood ranging from razor clams and fresh Dungeness crab to scallops, salmon, and much more. Partnering once again with the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival from Port Angeles, the festival is a testament to the region's rich seafood traditions and culinary excellence.

The festival kicks off on Friday, March 15th, and runs through Sunday, March 17th, offering visitors an immersive experience in seafood indulgence. Attendees can look forward to not just savoring a variety of seafood but also participating in unique events such as the Clam Gun Decorating Contest. With an emphasis on local flavors and culinary craftsmanship, the festival is a free-to-attend event that showcases the best of Ocean Shores' seafood scene.

One of the highlights of this year's festival is the opportunity to enjoy a specially prepared Dungeness crab meal, complete with herbed potatoes and coleslaw. Due to the popularity of this offering, advanced ticket purchases are recommended to guarantee a seat at the table. Additionally, the festival features a tasting passport option, allowing participants to sample and vote on NINE different chowders in a quest to crown the People's Choice.

The Vendor Village, open throughout the festival, offers a chance to explore various vendors, while the schedule is packed with live music performances to enhance the festive atmosphere. Notably, the chowder contest awards on Saturday afternoon promise excitement and the recognition of culinary talent.

For those seeking a leisurely Sunday morning, the special eggs benedict and Bloody Mary/Mimosa brunch is a must-attend, with advanced tickets required for participation. As the festival wraps up on Sunday afternoon, attendees can look back on a weekend filled with delicious food, lively music, and community spirit.

The Ocean Shores Razor Clam & Seafood Festival is not just an event; it's a celebration of the Pacific Northwest's bountiful seas, a gathering of seafood enthusiasts, and a showcase of culinary delights. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this festival is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the flavors and traditions of Ocean Shores, making it a must-visit event in 2024.
