Oyster Stroll

Saturday, October 10, 2026

12:00 - 4:00 PM

Shop, slurp, and stroll through Downtown Westminster! This annual festival features oysters, music, food and fun for the community and is designed to raise awareness about Chesapeake Bay farm-raised oysters. The event highlights how Westminster is working to restore wild oysters back into the Bay by working with environmental partners to create new oyster reefs from recycled oyster shells and concrete reef balls. 

The event directly supports CCA Maryland's Living Reef Action Campaign.
