Bluff Oyster and Food Festival

Overview

New Zealand's sophisticated culinary scene is having a moment, but the Bluff Oyster and Food Festival isn't interested in polishing up its act.

Operating with the motto, "unsophisticated and proud of it," it's all about celebrating the Bluff oyster – an especially tasty mollusc known for its creamy, intense flavour.

Next scheduled for May 2025, this iconic Southland event is held in simple sheds and features a musical lineup of local talent.
