Crowds pour in and the little port town of Bluff, on New Zealand’s southern tip, when it’s time to celebrate the Bluff Oyster harvest from the cold southern oceans. The oyster season usually lasts from March to August and, while the seafood delicacy will be featured on restaurant menus all over New Zealand, that doesn’t stop seafood lovers from flocking to the Southland town to enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes at the source. The Bluff Oyster Festival is one of New Zealand’s most loved food festivals, attracting locals and visitors from all over to celebrate the seasonal delicacy - straight up or in a variety of dishes. A selection of wild foods, live entertainment, shucking competitions and the Bluff Oyster Sack fashion show round off the experience.
