OYSTERFEST 2021 POSTPONED

It was by a unanimous vote/decision by the Fulton Oysterfest Board of Directors that our annual event be postponed.
The decision to postpone Oysterfest was based on the following:
  • Health and Safety of our community and supporters.
  • The inability to obtain required documents/permits for the event
  • The inability of key vendors to commit to the part they play in the event.
  • The inability to obtain the labor pool needed to set up, hold & tear down the event.

Save the Date – March 3-6, 2022

We look forward to a spectacular event in 2022!

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 Department is pulling out all the stops in preparation for the Annual Fulton Oysterfest.With over 36,000 visitors in 2011, 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. Each year’s celebration is a labor of love for the Fulton Volunteer Fire Dept. Over the past 40 years, they have used funds from the festival to purchase equipment and saved to build a new fire station. The New Fire Station is Now Complete. Money raised now goes towards Equipment, Training, & Maintenance. Oysterfest proceeds are the major source of funding for life-saving and fire fighting equipment in the community.

Our 100% volunteer department is funded primarily through your support during Oysterfest, and what a fun event that was this year. The second major fund raiser that helps to ensure your Fulton Volunteer Fire Department is capable of providing the community with prompt and safe Emergency Response is this letter drive.

Come join us in Fulton for a fun-filled weekend!!
