The New Orleans Oyster Festival served up mouth-watering food June 1 and 2 on the riverfront in downtown New Orleans. We ate our little hearts out, along with the rest of NOLA.
We also got to cross this event off our bucket list.
We pulled together the fest’s most mouth-watering photos shared on Twitter and Instagram. And here they are via Storify:
