Oysterfest

                                                                             February is Oyster Month in Atlanta. During this time of year people are looking for those perfect oysters to sink their teeth into. Whether it’s steamed or raw, oysters always hit the spot and there is no better location to enjoy them other than Park Tavern with the beautiful view of Piedmont Park. This year Park Tavern is hosting their annual Spiral Entertainment Oysterfest. Attendees must be 21+ and not to mention there will be free parking at Park Tavern and Grady High School.

Thousands of fresh oysters are flown in for the event, and festival-goers will be able to try them in a variety of styles: raw, steamed, and fried.  If you don’t like oysters, there will also be other tasty treats, such as Park Tavern’s delicious fried shrimp.  Four live bands and several DJs will be playing music all day, and there will also be cold beer and other drinks available for purchase. 

The Oysterfest will be held Saturday, February 9th at 1:00pm. For more information about the 2013 Oysterfest at Park Tavern, visit their website here.
