Join us for the eighth annual Oyster Roast for a Reason, a fundraising event hosted by Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant. The event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 23, from 1-4 p.m. on the bluff next to the UGA Aquarium on Skidaway Island, Georgia. Guests will enjoy a catered buffet, beverages, live music by City Hotel, and have the opportunity to eat local oysters – roasted and on the half shell!

Early registration tickets are $125. Prices will increase to $150 on Nov. 8.

Oyster Roast for a Reason is an event tailored for adults. All attendees, regardless of age, must have a ticket. Don’t forget your ID if you are 21+. We do encourage those with children to explore our public aquarium, which has several exhibits for younger audiences, on a separate occasion. Learn more here.

Funds raised through Oyster Roast for a Reason will support environmental education experiences at the UGA Aquarium, aquaculture research and training opportunities and new internships for college students. Learn more about these initiatives as well as sponsorships below.
