Tentative Date for 2010: October 9



Sponsored annually by the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce, the Oyster Festival is held to mark the opening of the oyster season. Oysters are prepared any way imaginable along with other concessions. Gates open early in the morning, but service doesn't begin until noon. Held at the Maddox Family Camp Ground - on Chincotaegue, there is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy good company and good food.
