Norwalk Seaport Association Oyster Festival

About This Event

Picture this: You touch down in Connecticut and within minutes you're aboard a vintage catamaran, cruising past historic lighthouses toward a 52-acre island paradise where New England's finest oysters await. The Norwalk Oyster Festival transforms Veterans Memorial Park into a three-day celebration that's been perfecting the art of coastal cuisine for nearly half a century. Fresh-off-the-boat oysters headline an international food court where local nonprofits serve everything from authentic lobster rolls to craft beer selections. Between the carnival rides for kids and live music on multiple stages, you'll discover why this festival draws visitors from across the tri-state area. The real magic? Your admission helps preserve the historic Sheffield Island Lighthouse, making every oyster you slurp part of maritime conservation. It's coastal New England at its absolute finest.
