Welcome to the Clayoquot Oyster Festival!

The Clayoquot Oyster Festival is a celebration of the abundance and beauty of the sea. In Clayoquot Sound, oysters give us lots to celebrate about. On most of the oyster farms in Clayoquot Sound, oysters hang on long lines in the deep, cold waters filtering water to eat and grow. Currently about 50,000 gallons of Pacific Oysters (Crassiostrea Gigas) are harvested annually in the area.  More about oysters...

The 13th annual Clayoquot Oyster Festival celebrated oysters with oyster farm tours, educational seminars, the Mermaid's Ball, and of course the ever popular Oyster Gala from November 19 - 21.  Thank you to all our chefs, participants, sponsors, volunteers and to all lovers of oysters everywhere.  

See you next year for the Oyster Gala on November 20th, 2010, the Mermaid's Ball on November 19th, 2010 and all the other events starting on the 18th.  Check out this website starting September 2010 for news of the 14th Annual Clayoquot Oyster Festival!
