The Oyster Festival

The Oyster Festival, the East Coast’s largest waterfront festival with more than 200,000 attendees, returns this October offering a fun mixture of new activities and old favorites that are certain to entertain the entire family. The Oyster Festival is a project of the Oyster Bay Rotary Club and funded by the Oyster Bay Charitable Fund. The Oyster Festival offers a fun mixture of new activities and old favorites that are certain to entertain the entire family including live entertainment, Tall Ships, top-notch artisans, pirate shows, midway rides, and the iconic oyster eating and shucking contest. And of course…the Food Court, where volunteer chefs and culinary pros work side by side, cooking and serving dozens of unique oyster, clam and other seafood concoctions along with traditional festival fare. A family-friendly event, the Oyster Festival remains Alcohol-FREE and Pet-FREE. Don’t forget to see the Autofest car show too!
