The Wellfleet Oyster Fest has become one of the largest Fall events on Cape Cod. This year the event is being held on October 13th and 14th and boasts a full schedule of events that range from road races, to music, and of course the oyster shucking competition. The 'Fest is produced by Wellfleet Shellfish Promotion and Tasting, or SPAT, a non-profit organization devoted to fostering a greater understanding of the town's shellfishing industry. Proceeds from this event and others have provided for more than $75,000 in scholarships for Nauset Regional High School students. This is a great, free event for all ages, and a great way to spend a Fall weekend here on Cape Cod.
