Newport Oyster Festival
May 20-22, 2016

Bowen's Wharf has added two new events for 2016 that build on past successes and local enthusiasm for more activity on the waterfront.

We are shuckin' proud to announce the Newport Oyster Festival May 20-22, 2016 to promote Rhode Island-grown oysters.

Did you know that Rhode Island is home to upwards of 45 oyster farms? Well, each one is different so this is your big chance to try a bunch of them!

Based on 25 years running the Bowen's Wharf Seafood Festival we've met with many shellfishermen and countless talented restaurant owners.

This new event seeks to bring the best Rhode Island oyster growers together with a select group of local restaurants under festival tents at historic Bowen's Wharf. Tickets will be sold online, and in person, so attendees will enjoy oysters and more oysters: Raw, Steamed, Roasted, Rockefeller, Fried, Stewed...along with the accompanying sauces, beverages, and serving techniques. Fun and good for the environment...more on that at the event.

We wish to share the appeal of Newport, it's restaurants together with DEM's newly branded "RI Seafood" at Bowen's Wharf and also throughout the city.

Neighboring restaurants are invited to participate on site but also to connect with us as part of an Oyster Hop. By registering with our festival program neighboring restaurants will be included in our promotions so attendees can stroll through town and enjoy oyster specialties on their own schedule.
