Good afternoon,
Arcata Main Street’s 22nd Annual Oyster Festival will take place on Saturday, June 16, 2012. This annual summer tradition on the Arcata Plaza has grown into a successful festival model by demonstrating how an area can capitalize on its natural resources without relinquishing its unique charms.
It was estimated that over 18,000 people attended the 2011 Oyster Festival and dined on oysters prepared by local culinary talent, enjoyed local microbrews, drank fine wine, danced to great music, and enjoyed a kid friendly area.
Through the success of this event and exposure created, Arcata was named the Oyster Capital of California as well as named one of the top 10 food festivals in the world by Away.com. The Oyster Fest attracts throngs of gourmet food lovers to downtown’s historic Arcata Plaza, one of the few last remaining town squares in California. June marks the peak of the oyster season in Humboldt County, where more than 70 percent of the fresh oysters consumed in the state are grown.
Be sure to claim your spot early. We have attached the 2012 Application for Non-Oyster/Kids Area Vendors. Application deadline is Monday, April 16, 2012.
We look forward to your participation in the 2012 Oyster Festival!!!!
