The Menu: Packed programme for Galway International Oyster Festival
Galway International Oyster Festival takes place from September 27-29
The venerable Galway International Oyster Festival (September 27-29), Ireland’s pre-eminent celebration of the beautiful bivalve, returns once more. The packed programme includes the World Oyster Opening Championships on the Saturday, followed that evening by the Party of Champions to acknowledge the victor. Meat, vegan and veggie options are also available in the festival marquee. Sunday’s Féile Bia Na Mara is a family-friendly day, with workshops, talks, demos from local and national chefs and a whole host of delicious seafood to be had along the Long Walk, including mussels, clams, fish tacos, smoked salmon and, of course, more oysters, as well as live music and free children’s fun activities to keep them entertained.
