The Epic Outdoor Food Fest In Massachusetts You Simply Cannot Miss

Oysters. You either drool over them, or you think they’re wiggly and weird. For those among us who consider oysters the tastiest things to come out of the ocean, this food festival is like walking through the gates of heaven.

The Wellfleet Oysterfest is an oyster-lover’s dream, and it’s also one of the best foodie events on the Massachusetts calendar. Read on to learn why this event is one you definitely should not miss.

The Wellfleet Oysterfest is a two-day celebration of all things oyster.

Amazing local restaurants and oystermen set up booths and tables around the festival grounds.

The smell of all that cooking food is intoxicating. You won’t be able to resist stopping at each stall.

The best part of this festival is how relatively cheap the oysters are. You can expect to pay a good deal less for a round than you would at a restaurant.

Oysters on the half shell are shucked seconds before landing on your plate.

It’s truly incredible to watch these experienced shuckers at their craft.

Feeling confident? You can compete in a very competitive shucking contest to prove your skills.

There’s also great live music throughout the two-day festival that’s entertaining for all.

There’s also plenty of nautical art to admire and take home.

Want to visit for the atmosphere but oysters aren't your thing? There are lots of other food options to keep you full and happy.

If you don’t like raw oysters, try some of the renowned oyster stew from the Lighthouse Restaurant. It’s a rich concoction of herbs, butter, oysters and cream.

You should definitely plan on stopping by early, as parking can get a little hectic during peak afternoon hours.

Even if oysters aren’t really your thing, this festival is perfect for soaking up some true Cape Cod charm.

Don’t miss this year’s festival on October 14 and 15, 2017. Stop by the festival’s website here for more information about parking, tickets and what you can expect at the celebration.
