Not all oyster parties are created equal. Here are my recommendations for true oyster aficionados.
Hama Hama Oyster Rama
April | Hama Hama Oyster Farm, Hood Canal, WA
Celebrate the tideflats! Every year Hama Hama welcome the public to their beach to learn about oysters, oyster farming, and life in the Hood Canal. It's not the biggest party in the world, but it might be the biggest subtidal one!
Billion Oyster Party
May 9 | Liberty Warehouse, Brooklyn, NY
Perhaps my favorite oyster event of the year. Get treated to the ultimate oyster experience while celebrating the movement to restore NY Harbor. Mingle with over 50 oyster growers, top chefs, and students committed to improving the local marine environment.
Wellfleet OysterFest
October | Wellfleet, MA
The Wellfleet OysterFest is an annual celebration of the town’s famous oysters, clams and its deep-rooted shellfishing traditions. Wellfleet’s town center comes alive for this two-day family festival that brings together locals and visitors for a weekend full of food, art, music, fun and games.
This year, I’m very excited that I’ll be hosting Wellfleet OysterFest’s signature program, Taste of the Merroir & Terroir. Learn More
Landlocked Oyster Fest & Benefit by Oyster South
OctobeR | Atlanta, GA
I’m a huge fan of this relatively new Atlanta-based oyster benefit that brings together some of the most unique and soulful growers, chefs, and oyster lovers together.
