Osoyoos Oyster Festival Events for 2016 April 20-24<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the fifth year in a row I am heading up to Osoyoos<\/a> for their annual oyster festival and it’s Michael’s third year! We’re\u00a0huge fans of bivalves and when they are paired with oyster friendly wines, beers and libations, we love them\u00a0even more. The oyster festival was created to give oyster farmers a bit of a break, while entertaining locals and visitors in the shoulder season. The weather is always sunny, and just a little bit crisp, and the room rates are reasonable.<\/p>\n
