If your New Year’s resolution is to do more day drinking and/or seafood slurping, the world (or at least Tabellas at Delaney Creek) is your oyster.
Tampa Oyster Fest is back for its seventh year, with hundreds of raw, steamed and chargrilled oysters, along with a low country boil, Make Mmm Squeal BBQ, an open bar with specialty cocktail tastings and games.
The event is a fundraiser for Frameworks, a nonprofit that helps parents and children develop emotional intelligence.
This year’s music headliner is The Broken Hearts, a tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Also on the bill are country artist Carter Smith and Fil Pate Trio, one of the best instrumental bands in Tampa Bay.
Tickets start at $160.70 for Tampa Oyster Fest happening Saturday, Jan. 10 in Tampa.
Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
