October Oyster Outing 2025

We are so excited to announce that the 23rd annual October Oyster Outing—a Morganton favorite—will return to the Morganton Square on Saturday, October 18th! 

The October Oyster Outing is such a cherished tradition in Morganton, and Courthouse Square is the perfect setting for it. With live music by Continental Divide, a mouthwatering menu, and a mission that supports the Burke Arts Council’s vibrant programming, it’s a win for the whole community.

This beloved fall tradition draws families from across the region while raising essential funds for the Burke Arts Council’s community art programs.

 Menu Highlights:  

  • Steamed and Fried Oysters

  • Gulf Shrimp

  • Clam Chowder and Salt Potatoes

  • Hot Dogs and Hamburgers

  • Local Craft Beer and Non-Alcoholic Refreshments
