Well, we’ve been doing the Oyster Roast for nearly a decade. And, you know what? It has gotten really cold in December at least half of times we tried to have the event. Of course, we held the event during those cold years anyway. But, we finally realized that if we move the event to September, it wouldn’t be as brutally cold. AND, a lot more people would probably attend. So, this year our 9th Annual Oyster Roast will be on Saturday, 19 September. We’ll start serving at Noon and continue serving until 3 PM. You’re welcome to stay as long as you’d like. But, we’ll start tearing down the oyster table and cleaning up around 4 PM.
What kind of oysters will we have? Well…Raw and Roasted, of course. We plan to have bushels and bushels of oysters. And, they will be locally harvested oysters provided to us by local seafood companies. And, for those of you that prefer other food, we’ll also serve homemade Clam Chowder, Hot Dogs, side dishes and desserts. Tickets are for all-you-can-eat. Oyster-eater tickets are $35. Non-oyster eater tickets are $30. Tickets for kids 5-12 are $20. Children under five are admitted free. Discounts apply for early purchasers and active duty military. Tickets are available at Carrot Tree Kitchens locations, Patriot Tours and Provisions and at the Watermen’s Museum. You can reach us at 757-887-2641 or by email at: admin@watermens.org.
