Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board, in partnership with the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce, announce that the East Coast’s largest seaside festival will return to the streets of Oyster Bay and historic Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park on Saturday, October 19th and Sunday, October 20th between the hours of 11am-6pm. For over 40 years, the beautiful and historic hamlet of Oyster Bay, New York, has been the locale for an outstanding weekend of family, fun, food and festivities, attracting more than 150,000 attendees! Oyster Fest 2024 is presented by Catholic Health and powered by Optimum and Sands. Aside from the legendary food courts, Oyster Fest 2024 boasts of the traditional excitement of oyster shucking and oyster eating contests, a huge artisan and crafts pavilion, Newton Shows amusement rides and games, the Sands Beer Garden, and continuous live entertainment on three stages.

"The Oyster Fest showcases our beautiful Town and historic sites in Oyster Bay while helping to raise charitable funds for local not-for-profit organizations. So, when you’re eating an oyster from our waterways, drinking a beverage from the local brewing company, or shopping in our downtown, you can feel especially good knowing that a portion of your dollars supports local charities," said Supervisor Saladino. "We’re also putting the local oyster back in Oyster Fest, and we are thrilled that over a dozen Long Island oyster farmers are participating in this year’s festival."

Event food sale will help support local Oyster Bay not-for-profit organizations to enhance their annual fundraising. When you eat at The Oyster Fest, you are giving back to Oyster Bay. The Oyster Fest Food Court is one of the largest fundraisers of the year for most of the organizations. For some, it’s their Only fundraiser.

The Food Courts:
The Oyster Fest features two food courts within Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park. The main food court, named in honor of one of the beloved founders of the Oyster Fest, the Tom Reardon Memorial Food Court sponsored by Flagstar. The second court is the Oyster Fest Seafood Court. Together, the two food courts are the festival’s heart and soul. With more than 60 food choices, even the pickiest of eaters will find much to savor. The main attraction Oysters, of course! Raw on the half shell, fried or in stew, more than 60,000 oysters will be consumed throughout the weekend. Selections include oyster and seafood inspired, all American favorites, international specialties, desserts, beverages, and The Sands Beer Garden featuring hyper-local craft beer by the Oyster Bay Brewing Company.
