This 9th Annual event centers around the
unique combination of oysters and stout and
is supported by a great cast of contemporary live music.

A wide variety of other beverages will also be available, ranging from beers, wines and premium spirits. Though oysters are the main theme of the festival many alternative choices of cuisine will be offered.

There will be a number of very interesting sideshows, the Shuck and Suck Competition,
Oyster History Exhibition and Oyster Cooking Demonstrations. A play area will be set aside
for children. Anyone under age 14 will have
free entry, except for the Special Reserved seating area. Minors will not be permitted to enter the event if unaccompanied by an adult.

Tickets will only be available for sale
online at SnagTickets

Are the "$45 Special Reserve (Premium Seating Area)" tickets worth it?  Does the premium seating area have it's own beer and food lines?  I went last year and it was a blast, but the beer and food lines were a drag.
