Crab days in Husum: A festival for gourmets on October 19 and 20!

Where does the culinary enthusiasm for seafood come from? On October 19 and 20, 2024, Husum turned into a Mecca for crab lovers. This weekend the event "Husumer Krabbtentage" takes place, in which visitors can enjoy the famous North Frisian crabs in a wonderful atmosphere. With a colorful program, the festive atmosphere and a crisp crab roll as the highlight, an unforgettable experience is offered.

The anticipation in the port city is great, because from October 19th to 20th these delicious crustaceans are celebrated. The event on the third weekend in October is a highlight for many who appreciate regional cuisine. A festival of the senses is celebrated along the inland port and on the market square. There are not only fresh crabs here, but also a variety of other delicacies, such as crepes and grilled sausages. The gourmet mile offers around 60 providers from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. that spoil visitors with their specialties.

The crab competition and culinary surprises

A special highlight will be the "trainee competition" on Saturday, where aspiring cooks show what they can do. From 12:45 p.m., creative dishes around the crab are prepared live. The tension increases, because even the chairwoman of the west coast of the Köche West coast is only found out a week before the event what is on the table. At 5:15 p.m. the Künsterliche winner will be announced, who can take the coveted crab cup home.

But the culinary journey does not end here. There is a show cooking on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. where the "Scholle Finkenwerder" will be reinterpreted. On this occasion, the Husum Majesty and the North Frisian Lamb Queen come together to prepare a lamb leg exclusively. Reason enough to stop by at the performances and maybe get one or the other precious trial snacks.

Maritime flair and handicrafts

The artisan market on the Husum landmark, the Tine, a visit to itself. From 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., visitors can discover unique pieces of wool, wax or ceramic. The purchase of special gifts is an experience in the middle of a festive backdrop that reinforces the maritime atmosphere. Local shops are also open this weekend and offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of the decor and useful things - even on Sunday.

If you have always asked yourself how to take crabs properly, you can get an idea of it on Sunday, October 20, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. A crab powder championship takes place on the E-Tec stage at the ship bridge. Here participants compete against each other to quickly win the delicate meat. It is recommended to use your hands - it is easier than you think!

The official opening of the crab days begins at 10:00 a.m. and is framed by the Buddelschipper from Heide with happy shantys. District Administrator Florian Lorenzen takes over at 11:00 a.m. and ceremoniously opened the event with a traditional crab swallow.

The Husum crab days are not only a festival for the palate, but also an experience that stimulates the senses and offers many opportunities for celebrating, feasting and amazing. If you are looking for an unforgettable autumn weekend, you should never miss the opportunity to celebrate this delicacy. A large number of emojis that are expressed in the dishes and activities will certainly be remembered by the guests - a truly maritime celebration that Husum shines.
