The Town of Oyster Bay is gearing up for one of Long Island’s biggest fall traditions as the 42nd Annual Oyster Fest kicks off Saturday and continues through Sunday in downtown Oyster Bay.
The popular waterfront festival is expected to draw thousands of visitors for two days of food, live music, carnival rides, and family-friendly activities — with oysters taking center stage.
To accommodate the crowds, the Long Island Rail Road will run extra trains directly to Oyster Bay throughout the weekend, offering an easy and convenient way for festivalgoers to attend without worrying about parking.
Festival proceeds will benefit local charities, continuing a long-standing community tradition of giving back. In addition, the Town of Oyster Bay will once again collect used oyster shells to support marine restoration efforts, helping improve local water quality and habitat for marine life.
