Yes, please bring a valid ID that you will show at check-in. All guests must be 21 or over. Sorry, no children or babies will be permitted to enter.
Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn’t match the person who attends?
Yes, as long as the guest presenting the ticket at the gate has a valid ID and is 21 or over, the name on the ticket does not matter.
Will there be tickets available at the gate?
No. If tickets are available the day of the event on Eventbrite, they can be purchased through Evenbrite only. If Eventbrite shows that we are sold out, then you are out of luck this year. We have sold out all 4 years so far, so we recommend buying your tickets early.

All net proceeds from ticket sales and any additional donated funds will go to the Blue Island Oyster Foundation and Save the Great South Bay. Both organizations support and promote initiatives to better the water quality of the Great South Bay.
Are there any sponsorship or donation opportunities for the event?
Yes. We will be accepting donations for the Basket Auction which will be set up during the festival for the festival guests to participate in as well as accepting monetary donations to help cover the cost of producing such a large event which can be submitted through the Eventbrite app or via check by mail. Please email events@blueislandoysters.com or call 631.750.5986 to discuss how you would like to donate.
