Oyster Festival celebrates 20 years

The Brisbane Water Oyster Festival will be held for its 20th year from 9:30am to 4pm on Sunday, November 10, at Ettalong.

The festival will be held in and around The Galleria, the venue of the Ettalong Markets, in Schnapper Rd, Ettalong

As well as the annual oyster eating competition, there will be a program of live entertainment and more than 50 retail stores.

The day will present wine from in the Hunter Valley, craft beer from a local brewery and food from around the world.

"The festival has always been about promoting the beautiful Brisbane Waters and celebrating our magnificent Sydney Rock oysters and the Patonga Creek beauties grown right here," said organiser Ms Debra Wales.

"We've had three moves in that time, beginning at the Woy Woy waterfront where we outgrew the area and then to Ettalong Beach beachfront.

"Last year saw our move to the Ettalong Markets which proved to be a success with over 30,000 visitors throughout the day," Ms Wales said.
