WELCOME TO THE URBANNA OYSTER FESTIVAL!

For our many returning guests, Welcome back! If this is your first year, you’re in for a treat! The Town of Urbanna is a true Oyster town and the best place to taste, buy and try all things oyster-related. The Urbanna Oyster Festival is home to the Virginia State Oyster Shucking Championship, as well as the very popular, Fireman’s Parade, a loud and exciting parade featuring the lights and sounds of over 80 units from all over the state. We also feature great experiences like Wine & Beer Tasting areas featuring many local Virginia Wineries & Breweries, and a historic waterfront exhibit with displays from the Marine Science Legacy Program. There is something for everyone at this popular festival & the Urbanna Oyster Festival invites individuals from all over to what has long been known as the Official Oyster Festival of the Commonwealth.
