Steamhouse Lounge Oysterfest 2017

On Saturday, February 25th and Sunday, February 26th, Steamhouse Lounge Oysterfest is back for its 30th year and will be bigger and better than ever! It’s going to be the biggest party of the spring with fresh roasted oysters, ice cold Budweiser, and live local bands. Buckets and buckets of oysters and we mean heaping BUCKETS of delicious, fresh roasted oysters are available. You couldn’t get prices like this if you were buying them fresh off the boat! And of course, don’t forget Steamhouse’s legendary lobster bisque! Sister restaurants Fontaine’s Oyster House, Highland Tap and Vickery’s Glenwood Park will be on site as well serving up more local favorites! The live local bands include Moontower, Booge, Moby Dick, and more. Purchase a 2-day ticket in advance and pay only the price of a Saturday ticket – $20! That’s 2 days of sun soaking, live music, and fresh seafood from the Louisiana Gulf Coast. But if you can’t make it on Saturday, we’ll have $10 tickets available for Sunday-only.
