Booth Registration Open
Vendor registration is now open for local non-profits. The success of OysterFest is largely due to its many vendors and exhibitors, which provide a variety of delicious food (both seafood and non) as well as education and information booths about stewarding our marine resources and our communities.
Aw shucks!
The West Coast Shucking Championship goes through more than 6,000 oysters over the two day weekend!
