Narooma Oyster Festival
If you're a fan of all-things oysters, then this South Coast NSW celebration is for you.
Overview
Attention seafood lovers. Get ready to get your mitts on some of the freshest oysters in the country at the Narooma Oyster Festival. The annual event is back with a mouth-watering selection of NSW-native rock oysters, seafood, and other gourmet treats from the Eurobodalla Coast region.
On Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4, visit the Narooma quay for a day of live music, cooking demonstrations, wine tasting, and, of course, plenty of oysters (almost 70,000 will make it from tide to table). Meet local oyster farmers and learn about the art of oyster shucking, or simply sit back and enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery.
This year, the Narooma Oyster Festival is offering tastings from oyster farms from all over southern NSW in Oyster Farmers Alley, oyster-tasting masterclasses with a leading Aussie seafood authority, cooking demonstrations from top chefs, a twilight social, a lazy champagne and oyster cruise, and much more.
Tickets start from $25 and are as plentiful as the oysters — but are selling fast, so head to the website to get yours. Pro tip: the festival is a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Sydney, so local accommodation is popular and should be booked in advance. Shuttle buses are bookable to and from Bateman's Bay and Bermagui.
