Urbanna Oyster Festival
Where: Drawer C 45 Cross Street, Urbanna, Virginia
When: Nov. 1-2
The folks behind this festival likely know what they’re doing—it’s the 62nd annual event. But rather than pulling up a seat near a tent, you’ll be strolling through the town, learning some local oyster history, gaining insights on the current oyster industry and, yes, actually eating some mollusks. Wine-and-oyster pairings are available, as well as tastings of local craft beer. Free admission. Food and alcohol purchase prices vary at each event site.
