Celebrating 5 Years of ShellFest & Shell to Shore!
ShellFest isn’t just a party (though let’s be real, it’s one heck of a party). It’s our signature fundraiser and the ultimate mash-up of everyone we work with all year long. Shell to Shore keeps the cycle spinning, linking oyster farmers, restaurants, seafood lovers, and the folks on the frontlines of restoring Georgia’s coast.
At ShellFest, we bring them all together for an afternoon of oysters, live music, local eats, cold drinks, and good conversation. Your support puts you in the mix with 450+ guests, volunteers, and vendors. Sponsorships and in-kind donations make the magic happen.
Check out the opportunities, or reach out, and let’s find the option that fits you best.
