Due to the increasing spread of COVID-19 and expanding restrictions on business operations within our community and in accordance with national, state and local governments prohibiting large group gatherings, the New Orleans Oyster Festival planned for May 30 & 31, 2020 has been cancelled. We look forward to hosting additional events supporting our oyster industry in the future.
The New Orleans Oyster Festival will continue to educate the country about the benefits of the Louisiana Gulf Oyster and contribute to the economic well-being of the oyster farmers, shuckers and their families. Through these efforts, we will provide the needed support to all those who are dedicated to the restoration of the Gulf Coast, which is necessary to sustain our oyster culture.
