Sponsor the Festival
Become a Sponsor & Support our Community
The 60th Annual US Oyster Festival offers unique opportunities to advertise your business while also supporting the valiant efforts of the Rotary Club of Lexington Park and many others with the shared mission of making our community better!
Over 10,000 people participate in the US Oyster Festival annually, and the US National Oyster Shucking Contest brings global recognition to this treasured, local festival.
Thanks to the participation of our partners like the Optimists Clubs, Scouting America, the Woman's Club, and many others, the US Oyster Festival is the largest collaborative fundraiser in St. Mary’s County.
