Bodega Bay Grange Annual Crab Cioppino Feed

Bodega Bay Grange
1370 Bodega Ave., Bodega Bay, CA

From their website: "Held the 3rd Sunday of January, loyal flocks from all corners of the State descend on this seaside hamlet, made famous in the Hitchcock thriller The Birds. They pay $40 each for the enjoyment of this tradition that has carried on since 1953. Last year, the Grange served up 670 dinners in little more than six hours. The proceeds fund the Grange’s scholarship program and other operations."

Locals and visitors alike love these annual crabs feeds and really get into them. Our neighbors kindly invited us to join the festivities at their pre-crab-feed-party but warned us they'll only serve light snacks. They said, "After all, we have some serious eating to do!" This photo from the Grange's website shows everyone having a blast last year.


Have fun and don't forget your bibs.
