“This year’s Crab fest artwork is inspired by the sense of excitement and fun we all had a s children leading up to the summer holidays,” Blyth said.

“Our annual Crab Fest is a great time to visit and sample some delicious crab dishes, awesome music and entertainment and there is a good chance dolphins will take the opportunity to show off for you.”
