The first-ever Crab Cake Week is coming to Williamsburg and Richmond this June, featuring crab cakes containing only sustainably-sourced Chesapeake Bay blue crab.
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay will have Crab Cake Week from June 1-9, the alliance wrote in a news release.
Participating restaurants will highlight their own crab cake meals while also “raising awareness about Williamsburg’s relationship to the bay.”
Crab Cake Week also aims to emphasize the importance of clean water.
“After all, you know how people would get if we lost this local resource: Crabby!” according to the news release.
Restaurants participating in the weeklong event will donate 10 percent of all crab cake sales to the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay in support of its mission: to lead, support, and inspire local action to restore and protect the lands, rivers, and streams of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
