An Island Vibe Like No Other

Get ready to slip into an aloha state of mind! Think vibrant Hawaiian shirts, the sounds of live music drifting over the water, refreshing cocktails in hand, and the freshest oysters you've ever tasted. It's a one-of-a-kind experience that perfectly blends fun, flavor, and a meaningful cause.

"It's a chance for people to celebrate the Seaport Association's mission of preserving the Sheffield Island Lighthouse for future generations — and have a little fun at an authentic oyster farm."

— Rick McQuaid, President, Norwalk Seaport Association

A Taste of Norwalk's Rich Oyster Heritage

Oysters have been part of Norwalk's identity since the days of the Native Americans, and the time-honored techniques used by Norm Bloom and Sons to farm their world-renowned Copps Island Oysters have been passed down through centuries. These aren't just any oysters — they're literally fresh off the boat.

Watch the pros shuck right before your eyes (they make it look effortless!) and enjoy them straight from the shell, served on trays with fresh lemons and a tempting array of sauces. Never tried an oyster before? This is the perfect place to start — come hungry!
