The Bay’s favorite bivalve takes the spotlight at CBMM’s OysterFest on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 10am-4pm. This fall-favorite festival invites you to enjoy oysters served a variety of ways, along with other local fare, craft beer, and spirits, plus fun for the whole family with live music, an oyster stew competition, a full schedule of demonstrations and presentations, children’s activities, and more.
Tickets are available now here and at the gate the day of the festival, with discounted pricing for CBMM members.
Whether you prefer to sip, savor, or slurp Chesapeake Bay oysters, this annual celebration is for you. The delicious menu will feature oysters from the Talbot Watermen Association and several local oyster farms, with both raw and cooked options available.
Guests can also purchase a variety of Chesapeake delicacies and other food offerings via local vendors on campus, plus a beverage selection that includes specialty cocktails and an array of local craft beer options. All food and drinks are an additional charge.
Don’t miss your chance to buy an OysterFest mug and join the judging for the always-popular oyster stew competition. You’ll sample offerings from area restaurants and then vote for your favorite to decide which chefs claim the coveted title and local bragging rights.
The friendly competition continues with our annual oyster slurp-off contest. Interested participants can sign up on the day of the event.
Admission is set at $22 for adults, $19 for seniors (65+) and students (17+), $10 for active and retired military members, and $9 for children ages 6-to-17, with all children 5-and-younger admitted free.
