Home of the Oyster
The home of the Oyster, Galway provides us with a festival to celebrate the native Oyster. The Galway Oyster Festival came about September 1954 with a total of 34 guests attending the very first Oyster Festival Banquet! It has now raised international proportions with the Sunday Times declaring in 2000 that the Galway Oyster Festival was one of the 12 greatest shows on earth.
The Oyster Festival attracts over 100,000 guests each year and has been listed by the AA Travel Guide as one of Europe's Seven Best Festivals on par with the Munich Beer Festival.
This year the festival runs from Wednesday September 22nd until Sunday September Sunday 26th. For a full schedule of events check out the Oyster Festival website
