Halcyon to Host 2nd Annual Oyster Festival

The festivities will take place at Halcyon, located at 114 Walnut St. in Montclair.

The event will begin at 2 p.m. and last until closing time. There will be live music including steel drums and a DJ, who will start playing at 6 p.m. A free outdoor yoga class hosted by Yoga Montclair will begin at 2 p.m.

This event is also kid friendly as crafts and free face painting will be available from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

According to the Montclair Times, last year at the First Annual Oyster Festival, Halcyon began with 2,000 oysters and “couldn’t get the oysters out fast enough.” This year the restaurant is kicking off the event with 3,000 oysters and have “hired more shuckers to keep up with the demand.”

In addition to the oysters there will also be shrimp, clams, chicken fingers, hot dogs, hamburgers and much more.

The Oyster Festival is also being run as a fundraiser to benefit the playground at Rand Park.
