The 2026 Cape May Oyster Festival

Cape May Oyster Festival is our flagship summer gathering, created to celebrate the water, the people, and the working culture that define the South Jersey coast. Hosted at The Southern Mansion on Saturday, August 29, the festival will bring together 400 to 450 guests for an afternoon built around oysters, local food, live music, and community.

We are currently inviting partners to join us as sponsors for the inaugural year. Support from local businesses helps us elevate the experience, showcase Cape May’s maritime heritage, and shine a light on the region’s growers and makers. Sponsors receive prominent exposure across on-site signage, digital channels, and event programming, as well as direct engagement with a high-intent audience.

If your business is interested in supporting the first-ever Cape May Oyster Festival, reach out to learn more about sponsorship opportunities and how we can build something meaningful together.
