Two weeks from now, one of Hood Canal’s most beloved celebrations makes its long-awaited return — and it’s worth circling on your calendar right now. 🦪
The Hama Hama Oyster Rama is back on April 18 & 19 (noon–6pm both days) at Hama Hama’s legendary beach farm in Lilliwaup, WA — after a seven-year hiatus since 2019. This is a genuine tidal celebration: guided tours with intertidal ecologists and oyster growers, u-pick oysters and clams straight from the Hood Canal flats, a Shuckathalon shucking competition, live music, local beer and wine, kids’ activities, and food vendors showcasing the best of Hood Canal’s incredible seafood culture. Ticket proceeds benefit the Hood Canal Education Foundation and local charities.
Entrance tickets are $45 for adults (16+), kids 15 and under get in free. If you want to harvest your own shellfish to take home, grab the u-pick pass ($85, includes 3 dozen oysters + 3 lbs clams). These events sell out — get your tickets now at hamahamaoysters.com. More details and event listing at explorehoodcanal.com. 🌊
