World Is Your Oyster Fest

Where Oyster Restoration Meets Celebration!

With Maryland’s five tributary-scale oyster restoration sanctuaries now complete and the Bay’s oyster population tripling over the past two decades, there’s never been a better time to raise a glass—and a half shell—in celebration of successful Chesapeake oyster restoration!

At World is Your Oyster Fest (WIYO), you’ll do just that—plus savor the best in local seafood, slurp your way through a bounty of local oysters, sip craft cocktails, and soak in the spirit of the Chesapeake—all to benefit successful oyster restoration efforts that are transforming the Bay! Cheer on the pros in the Tito’s Handmade Vodka Shucking Competition, sharpen your skills in a Shuck Like a Pro workshop, and discover how every shuck and slurp helps restore the Chesapeake Bay.

The party’s happening on Thursday, October 2, 2025 from 5:30–9:00 PM at the B&O Railroad Museum. 21+ only.

WIYO is more than just a good time—it’s for a great cause!
