---

From Friday 2 - Sunday 4 March 2012, Lamberts Bay will be hosting its 11th Annual Crayfish Festival.

Over the years this festival has become known for its good ‘old fashioned’ West Coast hospitality, showcasing some of this country’s best known artists, 80 odd fabulous stalls offering clothing, jewellery, food and gifts and crayfish, lots and lots of crayfish.

Crayfish is the star of the show and during the festival it is available in abundance, at ridiculously low prices, making it available for everyone to enjoy.Crayfish will be sold from the Muisbosskerm Graca Crayfish and Wine Stall. (Muisbosskerm is the country’s original open air restaurant situated in Lamberts Bay) The stall serves crayfish in many traditional recipes and also offers further seafood delights like Muisbosskerm Paella, Hake and Buffalo Chips and Oysters.

The popular Cape Town March festival will be held during the crayfish season. Crayfish are not affected by the red tide and are completely safe to eat.

Fancy something a little different? Our other food stalls offer just about every dish imaginable – it’s every Capetonian sea food lover’s dream.
