The 17th Annual Arcata Bay Oyster Festival drew more than 18,000 people to the Arcata Plaza to sample the variety of oysters prepared in every imaginable way. With oysters (and non oyster options) available from 30+ food vendors and the tradtional oyster calling contest, live music, and oyster jedging contest, the festival was enjyed by all.
New for 2007 was the Shuck and Swallow Contest, sponsored by the Point. The winners of the Shuck and Swallow Contest were local oyster aficionados Conor and Aidan, pictured below. Photo is courtesy of the Arcata Eye Newspaper.
