“It’s more than just oysters”

The 51st Annual Oyster Festival to benefit the York County History Center will be Sunday, Oct. 19, at the Colonial Complex, 157 W. Market St. That’s on Pershing Avenue between Market and Philadelphia streets in downtown York! Join us for great music, kids’ activities, local and regional artisans and craftspeople – and don’t let the name fool you! We’ve got a menu to accommodate all tastes (everything from pulled pork to mac & cheese, cole slaw, vast desserts, apple fritters, and of course oysters – “fried, stewed, or nude”). Additional items available for purchase include Farm Show milkshakes, beer, soft drinks, and so much more!

Free Admission, all food is “pay as you eat!”
