The outdoor oyster festival starts at noon with live bands playing at 2:00pm. You can slurp oysters outside until 11:00pm, at which point the party moves indoors for…yes, you guessed it…more beer and oysters! Prices are reasonable as well with $12 for half a dozen oysters and $7 for a pint of beer. Last year over 5,000 people showed up in Stone Street New York and they shucked a whopping 23,000 oysters! This year you can join the army of oyster lovers to help beat last year’s record. It will be so much fun.

If you are not in the New York area, no worries. There are other Oyster Festivals happening across USA in September and October. You are bound to be served dozens of unique oysters!
