Crabbing Rodeo

Each year, the Pea Island Crabbing/Fishing Rodeo is held the second Saturday in June from 9 am until noon. At noon, there is a random drawing for free prizes for children 12 and under. ALL children receive prizes.

Participants are encouraged to bring everything they need for the morning, including sunscreen, insect repellant, food, drink, chairs, etc.

Note: Success varies from year-to-year. Some years, almost everyone (sometimes as many as 500 people) takes home a full bucket of crabs. Some years, catch is much smaller. But, it's always a fun time for the entire family.
