Wareham Oyster Festival 2016
The 3rd  annual Wareham Oyster Festival will be held on Sunday, May 1, 2016 – 11:00am to 5:00pm  in  Downtown Wareham  on  Main Street.
Wareham’s waters are an extraordinary resource for some of the world’s best oysters… and a best-kept secret! And our restaurants include some of the best in the region.
Join us as we celebrate our briny bivalve… and more! More than a dozen carefully selected crafters and artisans, music, and all kinds of food. Enjoy oysters from Wareham as well as the Cape, Cuttyhunk, and Rhode Island, and the music of the Southcoast Jazz Orchestra and others.
