Galway Oyster Festival 2009

Welcome to the 55th Galway International Oyster Festival.
24th - 27 September 2009

The Irish love their oysters and Galway, one of the most unspoilt
and spectacular regions of Ireland, is no exception. Every autumn, Galway City hosts the Oyster Festival where visitors can sample "the taste of the sea". For four days and nights, Galway celebrates as guests from all over the world consume the local oysters, Guinness and other gourmet delights. The festival started in 1954; in 1960 the film director John Houston consumed 3,000 oysters; and in 1982, 40,000 oysters were eaten in one sitting.
Highlights of the festival include the popular World Oyster Opening championships, a champagne and oyster reception with the Mayor of Galway, the Oyster Pearl Contest, the parade of flags, a vintage car display, street entertainments, musical bands and an all-night disco. The festival ends with a magnificent banquet accompanied by the finest wines and liquors.

Enjoy four days and nights at the world renowned Galway International Oyster Festival.

For the best in gourmet seafood, live music and the best Guinness in town, it has to be the Galway Oyster Festival 2009.

From Thursday 24th September to Sunday 27th September 2009, Galway City will come alive as thousands of people travel from the four corners of the world to enjoy a remarkable festival celebrating the oyster, a food known for its mysterious luxury and passion.
