Event Details

Get ready for our 12th Annual Billion Oyster Party!

As our annual fundraiser, Billion Oyster Party unites 1,500 of New York Harbor's most enthusiastic supporters for a celebratory evening of feasting, festivities, and connecting on the waterfront. A fully sustainable gathering that benefits Billion Oyster Project's work to restore New York Harbor's ecosystem and teach the next generation of restoration practitioners, every dollar raised through ticket sales and sponsorships directly supports our restoration, community engagement, and education efforts.

Guests arrive by ferry, car, bike, or private yacht to watch the sunset behind the Statue of Liberty while eating oysters from some of the best oyster farms in North America. Devour bites from New York City's most exciting restaurants, all participating in Billion Oyster Project's Shell Recycling Program.

The VIP Experience

A more exclusive way to experience the party. VIP guests will kick off the celebration with an intimate waterfront gathering featuring special culinary offerings from our top chefs and premier partners followed by early access to enjoy one-on-one conversations with renowned chefs and oyster farmers.
