At Crabtoberfest, Maryland's Eastern Shore cuisine meets German culture.

Here's what you can expect at Crabtoberfest:

• Events: Enjoy folk dancing, face painting, live music, crafts, and even a Best Dressed at the Fest contest (lederhosen and dirndls are strongly encouraged).

• Beer: The brew selection may include German favorites such as Spaten, and Bitburger, as well as American beer like Budweiser and Coors Light.

• Food: Chow down on seafood from Rock Lobstah, Italian food from Stoked Wood-Fired Eatery, gastropub cuisine from The High Spot, and baked goods from Bay Country Bakery, as well as other local offerings.
