Docktails & Oysters – June 7th 2025
The Norwalk Seaport Association’s signature event, Docktails and Oysters, hosted by Norm Bloom and Sons, a fourth-generation oyster farm in Norwalk, is taking place on Saturday, June 7, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The proceeds from this sell out event will be used in refurbishing the lighthouse to its golden years in the 19th century when it guided ships safely through Norwalk Harbor.
This Sheffield Island-inspired party is casual and fun where you will see old friends and make new ones as you listen to live music, sip beer or wine, and slurp the freshest oysters you will ever taste! “It’s a chance for people to celebrate the Seaport Association’s mission of preserving the Sheffield Island Lighthouse for future generations and have a little fun at an authentic oyster farm,” said Rick McQuaid, President of the Seaport Association.
Oysters have a long history in Norwalk that started with the Native Americans. Today, the techniques and processes used to farm Copps Island Oysters by Norm Bloom and Sons have been used for centuries, making them an extra special treat. If you have never had oysters, literally fresh off the boat, this is your chance to eat your fill of them - so make sure you come hungry! It's fun to watch the pros shuck the oysters right before your eyes (they make it look so easy) and set them on trays with lemons and an assortment of delicious sauces. The food and fun doesn't stop there, as guests can also enjoy gourmet and delicacies from land and sea! Catered by Norm Bloom and Sons & Seaside Sliders/Mr. Frosty.
