New festival venue 'a success', says Chamber

The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has claimed the new Brisbane Water Oyster Festival venue at the Ettalong Markets was a success with big crowds flocking to the event.

"Once again the Chamber was overwhelmed with the big crowds that supported the Oyster Festival at the new venue," said Chamber President, Mr Matthew Wales.

"We were especially pleased with how smoothly the event ran and the luxury of the additional room needed to accommodate the huge crowds.

"With Schnapper Rd closed from Ocean View Rd to Flounder Rd, this afforded the event plenty of room for the hundreds of food, art and craft stalls and the large stage area that kept the crowds entertained during the day," he said.

"We were especially grateful to local residents who may have been inconvenienced with road closures, but I think the success of the community event for everyone was worth it."
