Shockoe-On-The-Half Shell

Family-​friendly event in 17^th Street Farmer’s Market complete with food, beer, clothing, jewelry and other kinds of vendors. Lines can get pretty long, though. Different bands also performing live music. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I was really excited to attend this event. The theme is awesome and the concept of bringing oysters to s street festival is great. Unfortuantely I was sadly disappointed that only one vendor offered raw oysters and most others just had oyster stew. There simply wasn’t as much variety as I had expected. I was impressed, however, with Halligan’s display and the variety in general they had as one vendor. Certainly my favorite part of this event was visiting them. Hope next year there are some improvements.
