🦪 You asked, we listened!

We've heard your feedback from past New Jersey Oyster Festival, and we've been making some changes to help make this year's festival even better!

🚗 Parking & Transportation: We'll have designated parking areas and a jitney to help get everyone down to the festival grounds!

🍻 B**r Truck: We're adding a b**r truck this year to help cut down on lines and make grabbing a drink a little easier!

🦪 Oyster Stations: We're changing up the layout of our oyster purveyors to help with crowd flow, shorten lines, and give everyone more room to enjoy the festival!

We're excited about these changes and can't wait to welcome everyone back to Bivalve this Saturday, October 17!

🎟️ Tickets are $50 in advance or $60 day of:

Help us preserve A.J. Meerwald for the next 100 years! ⚓

As we make our way to Atlantic City, Jess is sharing another update on our keel restoration campaign and how you can help support this important project.

We’re working to replace deteriorated sections of the Meerwald’s original 1928 keel, and we need our community’s help to make it happen!

Every donation, big or small, helps us get closer to our goal. Watch Jess’s latest update and consider making a donation to help preserve New Jersey’s Official Tall Ship for generations to come.
