Oyster Fest 2026 is just 12 days away! We have over 70 vendors, and more Oyster vendors than any previous Oyster Festival! Every single year, we’re blown away by the response we get from our amazing community. Oyster Fest is a team effort, and we cannot do it without all of you. We’re getting so excited for the big day and to party in the sunshine with everyone.
