Amite Oyster Festival
Aw, shucks! Come out of your shell for three days of fun at the Amite Oyster Festival.
to
Amite City Amite, Louisiana 70422
A staple of the local economy as well as the local palate, oysters have good reason to be celebrated in Amite—and the real pearl is the three days of the Amite Oyster Festival. Carnival rides, live music performances, local food and drink, and parading and pageantry galore with the theme "The Pearl of Louisiana"—not to mention a healthy (or maybe not so healthy) portion of fresh oysters, all in Downtown Amite. 5 pm–midnight Friday; 10 am–11 pm Saturday; 10 am–6 pm Sunday. amiteoysterfestival.com.
