OCTOBER 24 & 25, 2026 | 12PM – 5PM

Let’s have a shuckin’ good time at Oysterfest! Keenan aka the Tall Mutha Shucka will be bringing Blue Point Oysters from Long Island. Enjoy freshly shucked oysters along with our specialty beverages, local vendors, live music and more. Admission is free!

Who is the Tall Mutha Shucka?

Keenan (aka the Tall Mutha Shucka) has been drawn to oysters since 2005, focusing on sustainable farm-raised oysters. Keenan works at Maris Stella Farm in Long Island, where he provides a “dock to dish” shucking service to events around New York State. 

What are Blue Point Oysters?

Authentic “Blue Point Oysters” are grown on boutique farms on the Great South Bay, Long Island. They are hand sorted, and grown in floating bags that use the tide and wave action to tumble them. This growing technique creates a deep cupped shell with clean plump meat. 

Professionally Shucked by The Tall Mutha Shucka

Sustainability

Oysters are key to the marine ecosystem. They filter water as they eat, which helps clarify the water and remove pollutants such as nitrogen. Excess nitrogen can trigger algal blooms and deplete oxygen, creating “dead zones.” Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day! Additionally, oyster reefs provide habitat for hundreds of species and serve as a natural storm barrier. 

SPECIALTY BEVERAGES

TALL MUTHA SHUCKA

Oyster Stout at 6.6% ABV

6.5kgs of fresh oysters from Maris Stella Blue Points were used in this chocolaty earthy stout. Made with Pale, Munich & German dark malts. Hopped with our Centennial & Crystal hops & NYS Oysters.
