Oyster Bay Oyster Festival

About This Event

For over four decades, the Oyster Festival has transformed the historic hamlet of Oyster Bay into Long Island's premier waterfront celebration. Picture yourself strolling through Theodore Roosevelt Park with the salt breeze carrying the aroma of fresh-shucked oysters and the sounds of families enjoying a perfect autumn weekend. This isn't just any seafood festival — it's the East Coast's largest waterfront gathering, where generations of Long Islanders return year after year to celebrate the bounty of local waters. The festival captures that quintessential New England coastal charm, with vendors serving up the freshest oysters you'll find anywhere, alongside classic festival fare that keeps everyone happy. Whether you're introducing the kids to their first raw oyster or you're a seasoned shellfish lover, the atmosphere here is pure magic. The backdrop of historic Oyster Bay, combined with waterfront views and that infectious festival energy, creates memories that'll have you planning your return flight before you even leave.
