The festivities include the burning of the socks - a spring tradition at the Museum - plus live music by The Rovers. Up to 10 area restaurants will participate in the “First Annual Oyster Tasting Contest” where attendees can sample tastes then vote for their favorite. There will also be oyster shucking contests, family activities and exhibits that highlight the importance of the oyster to the health of the Chesapeake Bay, as well as this area's unique maritime heritage. In addition, the Museum's exhibition gallery will be open with the exhibit, “Oysters on the Half Shell.” Additional food and beverages will be available for a modest additional fee.
