Food and Venues

ST. MARY'S OYSTER FESTIVAL (All Food Sold Separately)
 PARTICIPATING GROUPS (2011). 

Oysters any way you like 'em have always been the trademark of the Festival and this year is no different. Stewed, raw, fried or scalded oysters are available, while other seafood lovers can feast on fried clams, scallops, soft crab sandwiches, crab cakes, shrimp, fried fish, and a tangy seafood chowder. Southern Maryland ham, beef and chicken specialty dishes are available.  Polish and Italian sausage, hamburgers, hot-dogs, 'Old Ham' on biscuits, and, of course, stuffed ham sandwiches are also on the menu. Volunteers from local nonprofit organizations prepare all these different seafood offerings.  The festival provides a means by which these clubs raise funds for their various charities. The list below is tentative at this time and will be updated as the Oyster Festival approaches.
