Fort Morgan Oyster Fest Brings Two Days of Food, Fun and Music

Gulf Shores, Ala. — (OBA) — The popular Fort Morgan Oyster Fest is returning to Gulf Shores next year, bringing Gulf Coast flavors and family fun to the beach. The two-day food and music festival will take place at The Beach Club Resort & Spa and spotlight locally farmed oysters. Guests can expect live entertainment, art vendors, and plenty of activities for both adults and children. Organizers say this year’s festival will feature new upgrades, including a premium ticket option.

The 4th Annual Fort Morgan Oyster Fest is scheduled for February 28 through March 1, 2026, and tickets are available on the official website. The event is hosted by Spectrum Resorts in partnership with Sassy Bass and Navy Cove Oysters. Festival-goers will have the chance to sample Navy Cove and Admiral oysters prepared in several styles, from fresh-shucked to grilled and topped with gourmet pairings.

New this year is a Super VIP ticket priced at $250. This exclusive option provides access to The Village Hideaway restaurant and its private patio, where guests will enjoy an elevated oyster and cocktail experience. Offerings include a raw oyster bar, passed oysters with caviar and champagne, and a Bloody Mary oyster pairing station. Super VIP guests will also have access to private live entertainment, lounges, premium parking, and a commemorative festival T-shirt.

General Admission is $75 and includes unlimited oysters, non-seafood items, beverages, admission, and parking. VIP and two-day passes are also available, while kids age 10 and under may attend for free. Organizers advise buying tickets early since quantities are limited and same-day entry cannot be guaranteed if the festival sells out.

Festival visitors can also plan a weekend getaway with a lodging discount at The Beach Club Resort & Spa, the official lodging partner. The resort is offering a “Stay & Save” package with 20 percent off beachfront condominiums or lakeside cottages, ranging from one to five bedrooms.
