I've been anticipating this 'festival' for months.
And I missed it !
Here is a 'taste' of the fun event from last year.
 Perhaps YOU enjoyed the October 13,14- 2012 weekend in Wellfleet.

 The
Oyster Fest
is a two day event brings together locals and visitors alike for a weekend full of hometown flavor and big time fun featuring something for everyone: local cuisine, educational lectures, cooking demonstrations, arts and crafts, children’s activities, live music, road races, walking tours and the Oyster Shuck-Off competition.The 'Fest is produced by Wellfleet Shellfish Promotion and Tasting, or SPAT, a non-profit organization devoted to fostering a greater understanding of the town's shell fishing industry and made possible through collaboration with the Town of Wellfleet, the support of many generous sponsors, the area shell fishermen and a dedicated group of volunteers.

        

 Proceeds from the ‘Fest fund SPAT’s educational mission including a Nauset Regional High School scholarship program and community grant awards to those whose creative and educational work increases awareness of Wellfleet’s shell fishing industry.


To date, SPAT has awarded more than $75,000 between the high school scholarship program and its grants in the local community.
Without your support, the 'Fest cannot continue to exist.
