Tampa Oyster Festival Returns Jan. 9, 2027, at Tabella’s with VIP Perks and Youth Scholarship Support

The Tampa Oyster Festival will return on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at Tabella’s at Delaney Creek, located at 5818 Causeway Blvd. Tickets for the popular event went on sale on September 15.

Frameworks of Tampa Bay, a local nonprofit dedicated to youth emotional intelligence, will present the festival. The organization aims to equip children in the region with knowledge, fostering kind, collaborative, and capable citizens. Frameworks envisions communities where emotional intelligence is practiced, leading to widespread success.

Attendees can expect fresh oysters prepared in multiple ways, including raw, chargrilled, and steamed. The event will also feature a low country boil packed with seafood, alongside live performances from Florida bands throughout the day.

Two ticket tiers are available. Diamond tickets, priced at $500, offer early entry, unlimited access to a VIP lounge with hors d’oeuvres, a dedicated concierge, and celebrity bartenders. A portion of each Diamond ticket sale will support the Terri Ellison Teens In Action Scholarship. Pearl-level tickets, costing $150 online, include all-you-can-eat oysters, unlimited beverages, Danzi’s low country boil, and BBQ.

The festival has a history of selling out quickly, a testament to its popularity and the appeal of Tabella’s at Delaney Creek as a venue. Festival organizers also plan to sell t-shirts at the event. Tickets are available for purchase on the Frameworks website.
