SUMMARY:51st Annual Fall Oyster Festival
DESCRIPTION:Thank you to all who sponsored\, donated\, supported\, and volunteered to make the Fall Oyster Festival ’25 the most successful ever! Together\, we raised almost $90\,000 to preserve and protect York County History. If you attended\, please complete the event survey here for a chance to win a $25 Visa gift card if submitted before 11:59 p.m.\, Friday\, October 24. \nIt was a gorgeous autumn day with history-infused family fun\, live entertainment and\, of course\, lots of favorite fall foods\, from apple fritters and pork barbecue to (of course!) oysters — raw\, fried and in a stew. All proceeds benefit the York County History Center. \nWhy oysters at a York Festival? In 1964\, an archaeological dig at the Golden Plough Tavern uncovered oyster shells—proof that these tasty bivalves were part of York’s culinary scene as far back as the 1800s. What started as a quirky nod to history quickly turned into an annual celebration: the now-beloved Oyster Festival\, where community\, food\, music\, and York County pride come together in one unforgettable day. Don’t let the name fool you – there’s something on the menu for every discerning palette! \nFunds raised from the Oyster Festival support the History Center all year long\, so more than 20\,000 visitors each year can discover York County’s unique story in meaningful and memorable ways. \nSave the Date: Sunday\, October 18\, 2026!\nQuestions? Interested in next year? Contact Amy Serafino\, CFRE\, Vice President of Advancement\, aserafino@yorkhistorycenter.org; 717/848-1587 x227
