It’s an elegant evening of fine food surrounded by talented musicians creating merriment throughout the Oregon Coast Aquarium's captivating exhibits.  Delicious clam chowder, platters of tantalizing appetizers, luscious desserts and rich coffee, plus, a no-host bar featuring select Oregon wines and microbrews – all make the Oyster Cloyster  an unsurpassed coastal event.
