Austin Oyster Festival

It's the eighth annual celebration of that delicious shellfish, where they'll be serving up a bounty of chef-prepared, seafood dishes, cocktail pairings, and entertainment, all to benefit the Central Texas Food Bank. Featuring a big raw bar of small-harvest Texas gulf oysters and pristine northeastern coast oysters, and oysters prepared as Oysters Rockefeller with smoked bacon, and grilled with garlic butter, and oyster-and-rock-shrimp gumbo, and crispy oyster banh mi, and New Orleans-style po’boys, and more. Drinks? Of course – especially if you like Bloody Marys among your beers and bubbles.
