Crab Feed (Italian Benevolent Society)

The Italian Benevolent Society hosts an annual All-You-Can-Eat Crab Feed at the Italian Picnic Grounds on Highway 49 in Sutter Creek. The dinner includes table wine, an antipasto plate, salad, sourdough bread, pesto pasta, cold cracked crab, and dessert.

The Italian Benevolent Society, established in 1881, is the oldest independent Italian club in the United States. It was originally founded as a charitable institution to aid the families of Italian miners in the Amador County gold mining community. Proceeds from events like the crab feed support the society’s ongoing community programs.
