Oysterfest In The Port hosted by Newburyport FISH will bring together oyster farms and fish vendors from across New England to highlight delicious local seafood. Craft brews from Riverwalk Brewing and wine from Grand Trunk Wine will be available for additional purchase for participants 21+. Live band, oyster apparel and more!
The event ticket includes one entry into the event and 18-oysters for tasting. Several oyster-adjacent free tastings will be available like poke, chowder, horseradish, seaweed salad and more. Additional paid add-ons like additional oysters can be pre-purchased with your ticket or at the door. Caviar add-ons are only available for pre-sale in 2023.

Featuring a"learn-to-shuck" station to test your skills. We will have the best shucking merch available for purchase like hats, shirts, sweatshirts, shucking equipment. This event will partially benefit Mass Oyster Project through donation of all of the oyster shells shucked.
Join us for an afternoon of fall-fun listening to live music, sipping brews and sucking down oysters!
