The annual Oyster Festival in Oyster Bay is billed as the largest waterfront festival on the East Coast, and it’s definitely the most enjoyable! This year’s event takes place on Saturday, October 14 and Sunday, October 15 (both days are rain or shine).

With music, contests, midway rides, sports clinics, pirate shows, and artisans displaying their work, there’s plenty to see, hear, do, and buy at the festival. In addition, thanks to the efforts of culinary pros and talented volunteers, there’s even more to eat! Food choices start with oysters and end with zeppoles. In between, there are plenty of other filling temptations, along with oyster eating and shucking contests.

The festival is a fundraiser for the Oyster Bay Rotary Club’s local charities.
