Save the date, April, 12, 2025, for the 18th Annual Oyster Roast Dinner. Indulge on oysters, clams, dinner, full bar including Chatham wine, and dessert while enjoying 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 will go on sale in early 2025. 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.
Sponsorships
We welcome sponsorships from individuals, families, or businesses. Contact VES Land Trust at (757) 442-5885 to ask about sponsorship opportunities.
