On July 26 from 1-4pm, James Beard Award–winning Chef Tony Messina and owner Philip Frattaroli come together for Cunard Tavern's first annual OysterFest. This ultimate summer outdoor block party will feature 10 chefs and oyster farms from around New England for a unforgettable afternoon. Each chef will be paired with an oyster farm and add their unique culinary spin to a freshly shucked oyster. Expect fresh-shucked oysters, craft cocktails (the ticket includes two tickets), coastal flavors, and Eastie summer vibes.

- Ben Sukle - Oberlin, Providence
- David Vargas - Vida Cantina, Portsmouth
