We have all missed the old Clam Slam, and then the Shuck-n-Suck, but all of that is changing this season. The first annual Crab Slam is coming to the Cape Charles harbor. It is being billed as a Celebration of Watermen, and will feature fan favorites such as featuring Live Music, Smith Island Speed Skiff Races, and of course, the boat docking contest.
The annual boat docking contest event is hosted by the Shanty and the Cape Charles Harbor & Marina.
The event kicks off Friday night, 7/30 with live music, food & beverages.
The Shanty will be closing down their parking lot on Saturday, 7/31 and Sunday 8/1 to host retail, food, wine, and beer vendors. There will be an outdoor stage for live music the duration of the event.
Sunday, 8/1, is the only day tickets are required! This is one of the biggest days of the year in Cape Charles, the Boat Docking Contest.

Shanty “sold out” before thus was published?
Not good!
Note: Typical, nobody told us.
So where will everyone park…?
Your choice: there will be buses leaving from Kiptopeke State Park every 15 minutes OR, if you don’t want to pay the fee to park there, you can park at the Dollar Store in Eastville where buses will leave hourly.
Enjoy!
