Welcome to the Clayoquot Oyster Festival!

The Clayoquot Oyster Festival is a celebration of the abundance and beauty of the sea. In Clayoquot Sound, oysters give us lots to celebrate about. On most of the oyster farms in Clayoquot Sound, oysters hang on long lines in the deep, cold waters filtering water to eat and grow. Currently about 50,000 gallons of Pacific Oysters (Crassiostrea Gigas) are harvested annually in the area.  More about oysters...

The 13th annual Clayoquot Oyster Festival celebrates oysters with oyster farm tours, educational seminars, the Mermaid's Ball, and of course the ever popular Oyster Gala.  Read about the events...
