Each October the York County History Center celebrates its Colonial heritage by hosting an Oyster Festival in downtown York, PA. Now in its 49th year, the History Center is proud to offer up the traditions and the bounty of the Bay! From the slurp of oysters on the half shell, to the creamy richness of oyster stew, and from the spicy-ness of steamed shrimp to the crispy sweetness of York County apple fritters, this is our way of saying, “Hello Fall" and welcome back to this beloved event at the York County History Center.
Date: Sunday, October 15, 2023
Time: 11 am – 4 pm
Admission: Free Admission, all food is “pay as you eat”!
Plans for Oyster Festival, at the Agricultural and Industrial Museum, 217 West Princess Street, include traditional seafood offerings as well as yummy, non-seafood items. This year look for the addition of some your favorite local food, beer and wine offerings, and a table of desserts and treats from the Friends of the York County History Center. As always, local music will fill the air – and the street outside – and interactive activities for kids, tours of the museum, and demos and artisan craftsmen will be on the bill. There is something for everyone!
