Well… This Weather Had Other Plans ❄️ New Date: Feb 7

Due to the incoming cold snap, local oyster beds will be frozen, which means our farmers aren’t able to harvest oysters safely for this weekend. And since fresh, local oysters are the heart of this event, we’ve decided to reschedule the Pig & Oyster Roast.

🦪 NEW DATE:
📅 Saturday, February 7 | 12–5 PM
📍 City Roots Farm

Everything else stays the same ,oysters, BBQ buffet, live music, fire pits, vendors, and the full bar lineup, just with conditions that allow us to do it right.

🎟 Tickets automatically transfer to the new date
Tickets are non-refundable but are transferable if you need to pass yours along to a friend.

If it’s going to be this cold, it might as well snow… right? ❄️😉
Thank you for your understanding and for supporting local farmers. We can’t wait to gather at the farm February 7.
