Get Ready for a Day of Shucking Fun!
We have food, fun and more at the Annual Fort Morgan Oyster Fest. Participate in our Shucking Contest, win prizes in our first Annual Cornhole Tournament, listen to live music, and eat plenty of oysters all day long.
Oyster Shucking competition
Our “every person’s oyster shucking contest” is the “Joe Cain” of oyster shucking competitions. This contest is all of the fun without the intimidation. Our oyster experts will teach you how to properly shuck an oyster, and show you what judges look for in competitions. After you feel comfortable, you can participate in our novice oyster shucking competition to win some cool prizes and swag. Oyster competitions will be happening throughout the day as slots are filled.

When you’re not slurping down your favorite seafood, tap your toes to great live music.
