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
