Lowcountry Oyster Festival, the world’s largest oyster festival started in 1982, is a great event for friends and family. Listed by Southeastern Tourism Society as one of the “top 20 events in the southeast”, this one-day event includes contests, live music, wine, beer, local cuisine, and of course all the oysters you can eat. Favorite contests include “Oyster Shucking” and “Oyster Eating.” Returning January 29, 2023, the event sells 60,000 pounds of oysters by the bucket every year! If you’re visiting with children, there’s the “Pluff-a-Pallooza Kids’ Zone” to keep kids occupied and entertained.
