Newport Waterfront Oyster Festival

From Newport Waterfront Oyster Festival Website:

We are shucking' proud to present the Newport Oyster Festival to promote Rhode Island-grown oysters. Did you know that RI is home to upwards of 45 oyster farms? The flavors are distinctive to each farm so this is your big chance to savor 13 of them all in one festive atmosphere! Growers will be shucking alongside a select group of local restaurants on site under festival tents. Tickets are sold online and include some free oysters and a beverage from one of our sponsors: Santa Margherita, Stella Artois and Bully Boy Distillers. You can also shop for favorites as you find them, meet the growers, and learn all about aquaculture. Restaurants that have RI oysters on their menus will be included in our new Rhode Island Oyster Trail. Hot tip: Sunday is looking great and the Shucking Contest will be at 3pm!
