Oysterfest 2025
Oysterfest 2025
Sunday, September 28
Oysterfest is back! With an adjustment in our schedule to move out of the target zones for our first snows in this new climate, the only thing certain is change. Adaptation is key - so this year the street party returns, celebrating 15 years with fresh look, music, and a day packed with bivalve love and appreciation. We’ve moved the date up in our calendars too - Sunday, September 28th, from 12:00pm - 6:00pm.
There are two ticket options for festival entry:
VIP PLATINUM PASS - includes: Entry begins at 12:00pm; Exclusive access to VIP Tent/seating area; Unlimited Oysters; Four (4) beverage tickets; Reusable event beverage cup. In addition, w are returning with our very popular Platinum Pass holder VIP TENT! Enjoy your bubbles and unlimited oysters from the comfort of a covered VIP area with exclusive seating and dedicated oyster/beverage station. Plus, rub elbows with the artists performing, since the VIP tent will also serve as the entertainment “green room” for the day.
GENERAL ADMISSION - includes: Entry at 1:00pm (or later); One (1) beverage ticket; Reusable event beverage cup
We'll have seafood from both coasts, a whole roasted pig, delicious grill items from Runestone Beef family farm, the Meritage Crêpe Stand returns, and more. It’s all of the comforts of one of your favorite festivals, we can’t wait to host you!

Oysterfest Take-Home Kits
COVID’s Oysterfest Kits from 2020/2021 were a hit! Many folks’ pods had their own backyard (or even kitchen/living room) parties to make Oysterfest all their own.
This year, we are offering one type of Oysterfest Take-Home Kit, priced at $125 (plus tax). It includes:
- 1 Dozen East Coast Oysters
- 1 Dozen West Coast Oysters
- Meritage “therm-o-tote” insulated bag
Orders for Oysterfest Take-Home Kits must be placed by Saturday October 1st.
Kits will be available for pickup from Meritage on Saturday October 8th, from 2pm - 4pm.
If you need a refresher on storing & shucking oysters, tune into our YouTube channel, where Chef Klein will walk you through.
Join us in-person, or host your own fest. Either way, we can’t wait to help you celebrate this unique #LastBestFest of the season.
