Established in 1954, the Galway International Oyster Festival is one of Ireland’s oldest and most celebrated food festivals. It began as a small gathering to showcase the region’s oysters and has grown into a world-renowned event attracting visitors from across the globe.
Over a lively weekend, festival-goers can enjoy oyster-shucking competitions, seafood tastings, live music, street performances, and cultural events that capture the spirit of Galway and the wider West of Ireland. It’s more than just a culinary experience—it’s a celebration of Ireland’s coastal traditions, creativity, and vibrant festival culture.
There’s no shortage of activities to enjoy at the Galway International Oyster Festival. The weekend offers oyster tasting, live cooking demonstrations, oyster-shucking competitions, and plenty of hands-on activities for all ages.
Or those who prefer to sit back and soak it all in, enjoy colourful parades, traditional music, and lively Irish dancing.
Arrive early to avoid crowds at popular oyster stalls and bring a light jacket or raincoat, as September in the West of Ireland can be unpredictable. Don’t miss exploring Galway’s charming streets, local cafés, and artisan shops between festival events.
The event runs from 26–29 September, taking over the streets of Galway city and its hub is centred around Eyre Square and the its surrounding cobbled streets. The Festival Marquee and Nimmos Pier are other spots that will be buzzing with a memorable atmosphere.
Galway is easily accessible by road or rail from Dublin and other major cities, making it perfect for a weekend getaway.
