Wellfleet OysterFest Tickets are now available online.

The Annual Wellfleet OysterFest is BACK in person! We have a new location this year, but it will be the same festival you know and love- with a few improvements, and a LOT more space!

We will be gathering at Baker's Field on October 15th and 16th to celebrate the Wellfleet Oyster (and clam!), at 70 Kendrick Ave, across from Mayo Beach, in Wellfleet!

Festival hours will be 10am-5pm. The preliminary shuck-off rounds are on Saturday, and the final round is on Sunday!

Please note there are some changes this year: you must have a ticket to attend. Even free tickets must be registered and present a QR code to gain entry at the gate. There are a limited number of tickets available. You must purchase a ticket for each day you wish to attend.

We are continuing the tradition of allowing Wellfleet residents free entry on Sunday- a code will be circulated on October 1st, and you will be able to claim your ticket online with that code.

Children under 12 will be admitted free of charge. Please claim a children's ticket on our Eventbrite page.

We have launched our first-ever membership program, and some of the memberships include complimentary tickets to OysterFest. You can find the link to our memberships in our bio.

Link to tickets is in the bio! You can also find them at:

We can't WAIT to see you back in person, for a shuckin' good time!
