More Than Oysters
All sorts of goodies and a lot more than oysters will be available during the 56th Galway International Oyster Festival.
In a new departure between the Galway International Oyster Festival and Junior Chamber International Galway a special exhibition, showcasing the best of Galway, 'More Than Oysters', will take place in the main ballroom in the festival centre in the Radisson Blu Hotel on Saturday 25th September from 1pm to 6pm. Festival goers can expect to get a flavour of a selection of Galway businesses as well as a taste of quality artisan foods from some of Galway’s indigenous and award-winning food producers.
JCI Galway is currently inviting expressions of interest from Galway businesses in particular food producers to take a stand and use this marketing and promotional opportunity to present their products to the estimated 2000 attendees.

Saturday’s events begin with the Oyster Festival Parade at 12 noon going from Galway Quay to the Festival Centre, Radisson Blu Hotel which will be led by the newly crowned Oyster Pearl. There are openings for local businesses to take part in this parade also.
