Oysterfest!

Since 1982, OysterFest has been a premier event and economic force in Shelton, WA. Although food & drink is paramount to this event, there is much to see and do including family activities, educational displays, music, and the much celebrated regional shucking competition.

The Washington State Seafood Festival (OysterFest) is hosted and presented by the Skookum Rotary Club of Shelton. Annually, members and their families create an event that helps hundreds of non-profits locally and globally.
