Aw, shucks! It’s that time of the year for the 20th annual Murrells Inlet Oyster Roast 2021! The cool, inlet breeze will be the perfect recipe for the salty oysters served up by the all-you-can-eat seafood buckets at this popular oyster fest held at Wicked Tuna’s parking lot along the beautiful Murrells Inlet MarshWalk.
Oyster Festival Information
The popular oyster festival in Murrells Inlet, SC (just south of the Myrtle Beach resorts area), will not only showcase the centerpiece shellfish, but will also offer live music, cold beverages and good times with nearly 1,000 fellow shuckers.
Tickets for all-you-can-eat oysters and an official oyster roast koozie are $40. All proceeds benefit Murrells Inlet 2020 which focuses on bringing the community together to preserve the creek and its surroundings. Buy an oyster shucking kit which includes a rag, 6 ounce hot sauce, an oyster knife, and a pair of gloves for $15. If you don’t care for oysters, other food will be sold at the event. Purchase your tickets in advance as this event tends to sell out.
The Nick Stone Band will perform near the Tuna Shak and vendors will also be around during this exciting annual event.
Don’t miss this oyster roast, Murrells Inlet-style, held rain or shine from 11:30am to 3pm on Saturday, November 9, 2024 at Wicked Tuna, located at 4123 U.S. 17, Murrells Inlet.
