Galway Oyster Festival 2023, 22 - 24 September in Ireland. Guide

Galway Oyster Festival

WHERE: Galway, Ireland
WHEN: from 22 to 24 September 2023

Sad by the end, by now next, Summer?
Do not worry, because the last week of September the fun is guaranteed. In Galway, Ireland, you’ll have three days of drinking, wild dances, alcohol and… oysters.

Il Galway Oyster Festival, is the most wild, incredible and extravagant gourmet festival in the country, which, this year, celebrates 69 years of life.
After St. Patrick’s Day, it is the most important event in the whole nation, which welcomes visitors from all over the world.

There is no better way to celebrate the new Oyster season. At Lunch, at dinner and even at breakfast (stomach permitting). To be served with a good glass of wine and champagne, or a pint of beer.
And many events to surround.

Oysters and gastronomy at the center of the Galway Oyster Festival. It is still a gastronomic event. Gourmet meetings, tastings and tastings in Galway’s best restaurants, workshops and activities await you.
And, again, fashion shows, tournaments and the Oyster Olympics; and, while we’re at it, a good election for … Miss Ostrica. On the other hand, every festival worthy of respect has its Miss !!

Music will also be the protagonist, with Irish artists ready to perform. And here, alas, the wonderful voice of Dolores O’Riordan would have been just fine.
