About This Event
Picture this: You're touching down at Sanderson Field and walking straight into Washington's premier seafood celebration. For 44 years, OysterFest has been the Pacific Northwest's ultimate autumn tradition, where over 12,000 seafood lovers gather for the West Coast Oyster Shucking Championship. The aroma of coconut shrimp mingles with live music as local non-profits serve everything from bacon-wrapped scallops to traditional wood-fired salmon. Watch lightning-fast shuckers compete for cash prizes, then sample their freshly opened treasures. Kids laugh on carnival rides while parents sip local wines and microbrews. From curried mussels to clam linguini, every bite supports the community that makes this magic happen. This isn't just a food festival – it's where aviation meets ocean bounty in the heart of oyster country.
