St. Johns Riverkeeper 23rd Oyster Roast

St. Johns RIVERKEEPER is the only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the protection and restoration of the St. Johns River and its watershed. We play a critical role in advocating for protective policies and sensible solutions, raising awareness and educating youth, and activating others to get involved and take action. While we are making progress, much work remains.  

The annual Oyster Roast raises critical funds to support St. Johns RIVERKEEPER and our successful advocacy, outreach, and education programs on behalf of the St. Johns River. 

Please join us as we celebrate our St. Johns River at the 23rd annual St. Johns Riverkeeper Oyster Roast!

Oyster Roast FAQ's

How do I get my tickets and what is the event Check-In procedure?

There are no physical tickets. All tickets are delivered to you digitally via email or text. You will check in at the event with a QR code. If you cannot find your code or are confused, don't worry! We will have volunteers to help you at the door in case there are any technical difficulties.

Where can I park once I arrive?

There is limited public parking adjacent to the Garden Club and throughout the Riverside/Five Points area. We will also be providing a free shuttle service to the Oyster Roast from the parking lot located off Riverside Avenue under the Fuller Warren Bridge – the location of the Riverside Arts Market (RAM). The shuttle will run between RAM and the Garden Club from 6:30pm to 10:15pm. Look for the lime green and white Tuk Tuks, three-wheeled motorized vehicles (auto-rickshaws) that can shuttle up to six people at a time.

What should I wear? 

The Oyster Roast is business casual. Guests were anything from jeans to fancy dresses - just make sure to please dress for the weather! It can be cooler and windy outside by the river.

Thank you to our sponsors!
