Feast Down East’s Annual Oyster Roast Fundraiser returns on Sunday, December 7, 2025 at our Food Hub in Burgaw’s Historic Train Depot.
Join us for an evening of fresh North Carolina oysters, seasonal fare, and live music, all in celebration of our local farmers and food system.
A Huge THANKS to Palate Bottle Shop for being our Presenting Harvest Sponsor!
Thanks to RNR Shellfish Farms for providing local oysters!
Proceeds from this event will help ensure local families can continue to access fresh food through SNAP & Fresh Bucks matching at our Mobile Markets — providing SNAP recipients up to $50 in free local food. Your support also helps deliver farm-fresh food purchased from local farmers to community food pantries through our Farmers Fighting Hunger program.
