Best Space-Place Contest
Bring your group of buddies and decorate your eating area with your favorite “oyster” theme. Be creative and let your imagination run wild. We have had carousels, pony corrals, German, Irish, and Roman themes and last year’s winner was “Shell-a-bration”. Look for the sign up area when you arrive to make sure you are entered in the contest. The winning group gets their photo on our large framed tribute to ten years of Oyster Festival tradition on display in the chamber office. Lots of fun for everyone!

Festival Weekend Extravaganza
Our annual festivals are a time for making new friends as well as renewing old friendships. By popular demand, we offer an exciting raffle called “The Festival Weekend Extravaganza”. This raffle will only be available to the festival ticket holders and is sold the day of the festival only!! The grand prize is an all expense paid weekend to next year’s festival. The package includes—free accommodations for Friday and Saturday, free meals, free festival tickets, free T-shirts, plus many other fun and exciting things to have, taste and do. We look forward to seeing you at all our festivals.
