Oyster Festival Matakana

Reeling in some of the area’s finest purveyors for a grand celebration of ‘vitamin sea’, Oyster Festival Matakana is marking its third year of a shucking great family day out.

While worshipping all things oyster, the event is also a school holiday respite, with Pakiri School putting on a hive of activity amidst the oyster shucking – think flax weaving, a silent disco, kids’ yoga and flapjack making.

Whether you’re a profesh or simply ‘pro-fresh’, this kid-friendly event will bring feasters face to face with the best shuckers behind the decadent delicacies. With food and entertainment options for tots to full-fledged foodies, it’s a fun way to spend a spring Sunday.
