“Aside from the Mandurah Action Sports, the Channel Seven Mandurah Crab Fest is all about increasing the visitor experience, with a refreshed approach to food and a wide selection of seafood, throughout the entire event. The 2011 Crab Fest has so many exciting new elements, with the Bankwest En Plein Air art competition and trail, the Champagne Travel children’s stage and Dora the Explorer, Jenny Rossen a world renowned sand sculpturist, Rotovation helicopters, roving entertainers, the Good Guys cooking stage featuring local My Restaurant Rules celebrities, An Evening on the Boardwalk by Mirvac, fireworks and much more; people will find it hard to know where to start.”

WA’s best up and coming music talent will be on show, including enigmatic singer/songwriter Abbe May, punk rockers The Novocaines and indie pop band Split Seconds.
