Oyster Wars 2026
Sunday, October 11 | 2–6 PM | The Salt Line, Washington, DC
Oyster lovers, this one’s worth the trip to DC! The Salt Line’s 8th Annual Oyster Wars brings together some of the East Coast’s best oyster farms, chefs and breweries for an afternoon dedicated to all things oysters.
Guests can enjoy freshly shucked oysters from 10 oyster farms spanning Maryland, Virginia, Rhode Island and Maine, plus tastings from an impressive lineup of local and regional chefs. Live music and plenty of beer, wine and cocktails round out the afternoon.
Best of all, eating oysters does some good! A portion of every ticket sold benefits Oyster Recovery Partnership and our work restoring oysters throughout the Chesapeake Bay.
VIP admission begins at 2 PM with early access to oyster and chef stations, a complimentary cocktail and first access to brewery offerings. General Admission begins at 3 PM.
Come hungry, support oyster restoration and spend an afternoon celebrating the people who grow, shuck and serve some of the East Coast’s best oysters.
