The Oyster Festival is more than good seafood. It is a tribute to southern tradition that so many of us know and love. The Lowcountry Oyster Festival, held on Boone Hall Plantation for the past 25 years, was named one of the “top 20 events in the southeast” by the Southeastern Tourism Society.

The Festival is hosted by the Greater Charleston Restaurant Association. The historic plantation has over 700 acres, and is just north of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina — it is one of America’s oldest working plantations. It is a flexible venue which can comfortably accommodate groups from 30 to 15,000. The Oyster Festival uses multiple tents and a permanent stage on the plantation’s spacious back lawn… and acres of parking on the polo fields.

Sunday, January 25th

Two gigantic tractor trailers filled with 65,000 pounds of oysters will roll onto the back lawn of Boone Hall Plantation… the prelude to the Lowcountry Oyster Festival– an oyster lover’s dream. Highlights of Sunday’s “rain or shine” Main Event include the legendary “Oyster Shucking & Eating Contest,” selection of domestic and imported beers, live bands on the Main Stage and a Kids Corner (complete with pony rides and jump castles).

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 the day of the event.
