Save those Shells! The Fort Pierce Oyster Festival has been dedicated to saving its shells and is on track to have contributed more than 25 tons of these shells over the years. Guests are asked to save their shells by placing them into the collection pails located next to trash cans throughout the festival. This year the Fort Pierce Oyster Festival is working with the Brevard Zoo and their Shuck & Share Program where the discarded shells can help to create oyster reefs.

Bring canned goods! The Fort Pierce Oyster Festival will also be accepting canned goods and other non-perishable food donations for the Treasure Coast Food Bank. Look for the food donation bins located around the festival and help support the Treasure Coast Food Bank.
