Thursday March 4, 2010 - Sunday March 7, 2010

Each year the Fulton Volunteer Fire Department sponsors Oysterfest, a salute to the tasty bi-valve found in our local waters. Oysterfest features carnival rides, games, food, an oyster eating contest, live music, unique vendor booths and most of all - FUN!

The Fulton Volunteer Fire Dept. and the Town of Fulton are pulling out all the stops in preparation for the Annual Fulton Oysterfest. The 2010 festival is scheduled for Thursday, March 4th – Sunday, March 7th, on the waterfront in Fulton, Texas. The organizers are putting on the final touches for this year’s event. With over 35,000 visitors in 2009, it was the most successful festival in Oysterfest history.

Oysterfest officials have been working with seafood sources along the Texas Gulf Coast to locate the freshest oysters and other seafood for the event as well as the most popular entertainment. This year’s celebration is a labor of love for the Fulton Volunteer Fire Dept. Over the past 30 years, they have used funds from the festival to purchase equipment. Money raised this year will be used to pay for a new Tanker Truck. Oysterfest proceeds are the major source of funding for life-saving and fire fighting equipment in the community. Come join us in Fulton for a fun-filled weekend!!
