 The Soft Shell Crab Festival returned from a two-year hiatus thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic for its 17th edition on Saturday. 

Thousands strolled Port Royal’s Paris Avenue, shopped with vendors and enjoyed some good food, especially those soft-shelled, blue crab delicacies at the festival, organized by the Old Village Association of Port Royal.
