Malesso' Gupot CHamoru / Crab Festival

Merizo, Guam

About

One of Guam's largest annual celebrations, drawing thousands to the island's southernmost village. Land crab is the headline - stuffed crab and crab cake booths regularly sell out before day's end - alongside CHamoru barbecue, live music, and stalls of Guam gifts and handcrafted items. Talaya net-throwing, coconut husking, jet ski racing and crab culinary competitions run through the weekend. Free and family-friendly.
