The “World’s Largest Oyster Roast” is held every January at beautiful Boone Hall Plantation.    This festive event attracts visitors from all over the world and is one of the premier social gatherings held annually in the Lowcountry that continues to grow each year.  This past January over 65,000 lbs. of oysters were enjoyed by over 10,000 people. 

It is put together each year by the Charleston Restaurant Association as a fundraiser for several outstanding Lowcountry charities including the Ronald McDonald House and the Hollings Cancer Center.  Thanks to chamber of commerce weather and resolution of traffic and parking issues that have existed in the past, this year’s festival is being called the “biggest and most successful ever.”
