Returning for a second year, “Oyster Wars” recalls a time when oyster pirates roamed the Chesapeake Region, turning the humble local oyster into a delicacy revered by many. The annual fall celebration invites guests to the Capitol Riverfront for an afternoon of the finest seafood and brews from New England to Virginia.

                        Your ticket offers an afternoon along the Anacostia River featuring live music from the reggae band See-I, DJ sets from DJ Stylus Chris with friends Harry Hotter, and tastings from participating chefs and oyster farms.
