Oyster Event
The annual Oyster Roast & Craft Beer Festival is the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad’s largest (and favorite!) fundraiser of the year. Although we are not able to socialize in person with all of you this year, we can still celebrate, enjoy great food, and raise some funds to support all our volunteers do for our community with this special Oysters, Stew & More Drive-Thru, Pickup and Take-Home Event.
Help us help you! Stay safe and strong and oyster on…
All Boxed Meals include fresh fried oysters OR a BBQ sandwich (you choose!), hush puppies, potato salad, a cup of oyster stew with crackers, and a cookie.
Support us by ordering a Sponsorship Package or with a Boxed Meal and a la carte items. And don’t forget our fantastic t-shirts and masks. Get yours here!
