Oyster Riot
November 20 @ 8:00 am - November 21 @ 5:00 pm
Friday, November 20 & Saturday, November 21, 2026: Get ready to RIOT! 🦪 Old Ebbitt Grill’s legendary Oyster Riot returns to Washington, DC for its 29th year, bringing together thousands of oysters, award-winning wines, great food, and live music for one of the region’s biggest celebrations of the beloved bivalve.
The celebration also gives back to the Bay. A portion of event proceeds benefits Oyster Recovery Partnership, and every oyster shell from the Riot is donated to ORP’s Shell Recycling Alliance to support future oyster restoration. Old Ebbitt Grill is also one of ORP’s longtime shell recycling partners.
