About the Brisbane Water Oyster Festival

The Brisbane Water Oyster Festival was established in 2000 by the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce to showcase the beautiful waterways of the Woy Woy Peninsula and our largest primary industry, the oyster farming industry.

This year we will be showcasing a variety of oysters from the Brisbane Water Oyster Farmers, the Broken Bay Oyster (Patonga) Farmers and the famous 'Pacifics' from the Hawkesbury River Farmers.

The day commences with a full program of entertainment with live on stage entertainment as well as street entertainment. We have beach and water activities with the Surf Club Nipper challenge and the Outrigger boat races. We also have 'How Many Oysters can you Eat in 30 Seconds' with a trophy and prize to be won presented by Star 104.5 FM.

Food and Drink

We will have a variety of food stalls from seafood to the good old sausage sizzle. We have a selection of 10 wine companies and beer on tap for the tasting on a hot summer's day.
