VES Land Trust will follow CDC guidelines for outdoor events.
The Oyster Roast has always been a spring event. Last year, in consideration of our communities health and wellbeing, we decided to postpone the event until fall. We are excited to get back into our regular schedule this year.
Save the date, April, 23, 2022, for the 15th Annual Oyster Roast Dinner. Indulge on oysters, clams, dinner, local wine, and dessert while enjoying beautiful views of Assawoman Creek at Wharton Place, a VES Land Trust held conservation easement. Proceeds benefit the Virginia Eastern Shore Land Trust and its land preservation mission on the Eastern Shore.

Tickets
Tickets are $135 each. Your ticket includes oysters, clams, dinner, drinks, and dessert. Because the Oyster Roast is held at a private property, we cap attendance at 250 to reduce the impact on the land and ensure everyone has a great time. This event always sells out. Please reserve your tickets early.
