OysterFest

Beloved by locals and visitors alike, our annual Wellfleet OysterFest™ has grown to become one of the most popular events on Cape Cod. Started back in 2001, OysterFest is a 2-day party that pulses with everything that makes life in Wellfleet so special; art, seafood, and community.

Upwards of 20,000 people gather in the heart of downtown for one weekend in October to celebrate our world famous oysters. This family-friendly hootenanny takes over Main Street with local food, beer and wine gardens, live music, arts and crafts vendors, and, of course, oysters. Lots and lots of oysters and other ‘Fleet-raised shellfish dished out directly from the men and women who harvest them along our shores. There are culinary demonstrations, educational lectures, an annual road race, and a Family Fun area complete with kid-friendly crafting, games, and a bounce house.
