By simply attending, you’re making an impact in our efforts to restore Chesapeake Bay oysters. In some cases, proceeds from the event directly support ORP’s programs, and in others, oyster shells will be collected as part of our shell recycling program to be reused for planting more oysters in the Bay.

An oyster renaissance is underway! The Oyster Recovery Partnership and The District Fishwife have teamed up to teach you how to shuck oysters, pair them with wine and discuss the importance of oyster shell recycling and how it impacts the Chesapeake Bay. You will also learn tips on how to purchase and store oysters so you can enjoy them at home. 100% of ticket sales will be donated to the Oyster Recovery Partnership which will fund the planting of 500 water filtering oysters back into our local coastline. Your ticket price includes 6 oysters, a glass of Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc and an oyster shucking knife to take home! Wine and oysters to take home can be purchased as an add on upon checkout at a discounted price or at the day of the event at full price.
