Hosted by the Shelton Skookum Rotary Club and attended by thousands, OysterFest is home to the West Coast Oyster Shucking Championships and is Washington State’s official Seafood Festival. The festival features hands-on water quality exhibits and a large food menu! It's not all oysters, oysters, oysters - besides great seafood, you will find spring rolls, garlic shrimp, homemade strawberry shortcake, fresh cider, and more.
