Annual Oyster Festival

Slurp-O-Rama National Championships

The Randy Royster Slurps Again!

Catch all the fun if you can. It's the third week of October in Chicago and the Royster is out on the town. Chase the tail of the night before and party right into tomorrow. There's plenty of shuckin' and slurpin' with another round of stirrin' and shakin' to be had. The Oyster Bar will be jammin' the blues, and serving 6 fresh cold water oysters on the half shell for $5.50 / $10.75 a dozen. Shaw's executive chef will be preparing oyster specialties each night. Grab a shooter and check out the nightly Oyster Slurping Contest.

Oyster Slurp-Off Competitions

The action starts at six o'clock each night in The Oyster Bars of Chicago and Schaumburg. The oyster slurping contest, or Slurp-Off, is as simple as whoever slurps a dozen oysters the fastest, sans hands, wins. Each night's winner is eligible to participate in Friday's Grand Slurp-Off at the Slurp-O-Rama event. Big prizes await the champion from the event's sponsors as well as top bragging rights for a year.

Tent Party

The festival frenzy climaxes with the famous Tent Party on the streets of Chicago. Revelers will enjoy a boat load of oysters, jambalaya, chicken sandwiches and catfish sandwiches while listening to the jams of Chicago's most crowd-pleasing bands well into the night!
