this event to a new level of visual design and thus creating a new level of
experience. “There are so many great
wine, food, and entertainment events on the Central Coast that we’ve really
concentrated on creating an experience unlike any other to equally highlight
entertainment and art right alongside the food and wine experience “ she said.
With a view of the
Morro Bay Oyster Farm as well as the iconic Morro Rock, the Central Coast
Oyster Festival will feature oysters from the Morro Bay Oyster Company, widely
recognized as one of the greatest suppliers on the West Coast. Dozens of chefs
from across the Central Coast will go head-to-head for the ‘Best Oyster of the
Central Coast” Chef Award, and the audience will be invited to taste their
sumptuous efforts.
The oysters will, of course, be the main attraction butr other
epicurean delights will also be available so plenty for oyster lovers and all
others a true foodies dream. Any good
oyster festival needs a shucking competition, and the Central Coast Oyster This
festival is no exception. Local shuckers will be invited to demonstrate their
speed and skill to a live audience for prizes and the respect of the Central
Coast community.
In addition to the mouthwatering
flavors of fresh Morro Bay oysters, the festival will include special features
