Charleston Gears Up for the 41st Annual Lowcountry Oyster Festival!

Charleston is buzzing with excitement as the Charleston Restaurant Foundation has revealed all the delicious details for the 41st annual Lowcountry Oyster Festival. Set to take place on February 2 at the stunning Boone Hall Plantation, this much-anticipated event promises to be a feast for the senses!

Get Ready to Shuck and Slurp!

Oyster fans, rejoice! Over 45,000 pounds of fresh, succulent oysters will be available at the festival, offering plenty for everyone to enjoy. Whether you prefer them raw, steamed, or fried, there’s something on the menu for every oyster lover out there. You’ll also find plenty of action with fun oyster shucking and oyster eating contests to show off your skills and maybe even take home a prize!

Live Music to Keep the Good Times Rolling

What’s better than delicious oysters? Tasty tunes to go along with them! This year’s festival showcases some amazing live music with talents like Bryan the DJ, The Secret Ingredients, and the headlining band Old Soul. So, grab your friends and get ready to dance while you indulge in all that delicious seafood.

A Feast Beyond Oysters

The offerings at the Lowcountry Oyster Festival don’t stop at just oysters. A delightful selection of beer, wine, and cocktails will wash down the savory seafood, while a variety of food vendors will cater to different tastes. Local favorites such as MacDaddy Food Truck, Hyman’s Seafood, and Charleston Crab House will be on-site serving up their best dishes. Don’t forget to stop by Nothing Bundt Cakes for something sweet!

Fun for the Whole Family

Families are in for a treat as well! The Pluff-a-Pallooza Children’s Area will keep the little ones entertained with a range of activities, including bubble therapy, an inflatable games arcade, cookie decorating, and even stilt performers! Kids can dive into creativity with sweetgrass basket weaving and can enjoy unique shows like Theatre on the Half-Shell.

Giving Back to the Community

One of the best parts of the Lowcountry Oyster Festival is that it benefits local charities, including Ronald McDonald House, Hollings Cancer Center, and many others. Last year, the festival raised over $106,000 for these vital causes. Over its long-standing history, the festival has generated an impressive $1.5 million for community initiatives and the preservation of the Lowcountry’s natural habitats.

Care for the Environment

The event also emphasizes sustainability with the help of the Coastal Conservation Association, which will recycle all oyster shells collected during the festival. After undergoing a six-month quarantine, these shells will be returned to local waters to help rebuild valuable ecosystems, showing everyone that enjoying oysters can go hand-in-hand with caring for the environment.

Tickets and Information

For those interested in attending, digital ticketing is now available! General admission tickets are priced at $25, providing access to all the festivities. If you’re looking for an upscale experience, VIP tickets are available for $225, which include unlimited oysters and a special dining area.

The Lowcountry Oyster Festival is sure to be a wonderful day filled with food, laughter, and community spirit. Mark your calendars for February 2 and get ready for a fantastic time at Boone Hall Plantation!
