The Reading Terminal Market is Hosting an After Hours Oyster Fest With 15 Oyster Companies & Wine Pairing
Reading Terminal Market, in partnership with Pearl’s Oyster Bar and Molly Malloy’s, is hosting its annual Oyster Fest event on Thursday, November 7. The exclusive, after-hours fundraiser features a dozen pairings of locally harvested oysters from the Barnegat Oyster Collective and locally sourced microbrews. For the first time, attendees can opt for a VIP ticket that includes wine pairings and access to a private seating area.
This walk-around-style experience showcases over a dozen varieties of freshly shucked and succulent East Coast oysters and mignonettes paired with local craft beers provided by Molly Malloy’s. This year’s event will offer an expanded food menu of New England clam chowder from Pearl’s Oyster Bar and oyster and andouille sausage gumbo from Beck’s Cajun Café as well as Market-sourced small bites.
Tickets can be purchased at readingterminalmarket.org/event/oyster-fest/. Net proceeds from Oyster Fest will benefit the Reading Terminal Market Corporation, the non-profit tasked with stewarding the mission of the 131-year-old public market.
