Sports fans, foodies, and fish lovers will all be doing the crab crawl over to Union Square on February 28, to cheer on the San Francisco 49ers and local chefs at the Annual Celebrity Crab Crack-Off and Festival. This event pits teams of local chefs against the San Francisco 49ers to fight for the title of fastest crab crackers in the West.
Don’t worry, participating Union Square restaurants will have plenty of Dungeness crab creations available for drooling onlookers at a minimal sampling fee. (Hot Dogs are an option for little fish haters.) Wash down your crustaceans at the Wine and Beer Garden. Then enjoy the afternoon of live entertainment, including music from Diego’s Umbrella, a children’s booth and family activities.
Tickets for food, beer and wine tastings are $5 each or 6 for $25.
