We’re Planning Our Annual Trek to Osoyoos For the Osoyoos Oyster Festival<\/h2>\n

No there are not oysters grown right in Osoyoos, but that didn’t stop the founders of the Osoyoos Oyster Festival<\/a>, from having a vision to give weary oyster farmers a break from the coast and locals and visiting oyster aficionados something to slurp while waiting for all of the spring wines to be released.<\/p>\n

\"Osoyoos<\/p>\n

It’s in the sixth year now and Michael and I will, once again make the journey to the Okanagan, via Kelowna, where we’ll stop for some last minute wedding prep, then continue down the valley to Osoyoos <\/a>for a few days to feast on oysters and work on our tans. We wouldn’t miss our annual pilgrimage, it’s now our little family tradition.<\/p>\n

\"Osoyoos<\/p>\n

The Osoyoos Oyster Festival returns to the South Okanagan, April 19-23 and showcases a\u00a0variety of oysters from across the country. Kelowna\u2019s Codfathers Seafood Market <\/a>will be\u00a0on hand, Nova Scotia’s Sober Island Oyster Farm<\/a> will be\u00a0shucking up a storm, and they’ll be Effingham Oysters<\/a> and more. We’ll be there for three days checking out the area and the festival’s events. On the agenda is lunch at Burrowing Owl Winery, a visit to Firehall Brewery and Dublin Gate Distilling and stops at several of the wineries. I have to be careful or I won’t fit into my wedding dress. Oh, did I mention I was getting married? I did a few times? Oops.<\/p>\n

\"Osoyoos<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing\u00a0Patrick McMurray again, known as \u201cShucker Paddy\u201d, Patrick is a former World Champion Oyster Shucker and owner of The Ceili Cottage Restaurant in Toronto. He\u2019ll be shucking fresh oysters at events throughout the festival and you’ll be shucking your own oysters in no time with his tips. Trevor and Michelle Munroe from Nova Scotia’s Sober Island Oyster Farm, along with their children, will be shucking east coast oysters at all three signature events, and the Codfathers Family is sure to be on site!\"Osoyoos<\/p>\n

We’ll be staying at Walnut Beach Resort<\/a>, as there’s a great heated pool and a\u00a0licensed beachfront, but many Osoyoos hotels and resorts will be offering special weekend rates for the duration of the festival, as well as \u201cStay and Savour\u201d packages starting at $569 per couple (includes two nights\u2019 accommodation and tickets to Oyster Festival events). Shuttle service, departing from set Osoyoos-based locations, is available during the following Oyster Festival events: Beach BBQ & Brews,\u00a0Deep Sea Garden Party and Art of the Pearl Gala.\"Osoyoos<\/p>\n
