238 Bayview Drive, Stumpy Point
Forget “the world is your oyster!” At the Stumpy Point Oyster Fest, the oyster is your world. For more than 30 years, this all-you-can-eat oyster festival has been a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Celebrate a chilly February day with friends, family, homemade desserts and your favorite bivalves. Whether you want your oysters steamed or fried is entirely up to you, and once you’ve had your fill of them – if that’s even possible – chow down on some fresh fish that’s fried up right in front of you. And you’ll be doing some good eating for a cause too; proceeds from the Oyster Feast benefit Stumpy Point families in need.

When counting your blessings around Thanksgiving, remember to give thanks for oyster season on the Outer Banks. The Big Curri-Shuck Oyster Roast at Sanctuary Vineyards is an all-you-can-eat oyster roast, featuring oysters from I Got Your Crabs in Kitty Hawk and local wines and beer. Barbecue and steamed crabs will be served in addition to oysters. Sample and savor the brews with the food in the tranquil setting in Currituck as live music fills the background. All attendees will receive a signature Sanctuary Vineyards wine glass to take home. This annual event is usually held on the Friday or Saturday following Thanksgiving. It’s a classy and down-home activity to entertain visiting friends and family after the turkey’s been finished and the table’s been cleared. The Big Curri-Shuck sells out most years, so be sure to reserve your tickets in advance on Sanctuary Vineyards’ website or at the shop.
