The weather couldn’t have been better for the St. Johns Riverkeeper’s annual Oyster Roast, known for being one of the best parties of the year and drawing guests from all over Northeast Florida. 

As it is each year, the Nov. 17 event was held at the Garden Club of Jacksonville in Riverside, where Fisherman’s Dock served up delicious oysters and seafood, with other tasty food from Biscottis, and brews from Aardwolf Brewing Company, Bold City Brewery, SweetWater Brewing Company, and Wicked Barley Brewing Company.

The evening’s festivities included live music from Firewater Tent Revival, and a wide array of items in the silent auction, including glass art by featured artist Brian Frus of San Marco. The Tin Can Photo Lounge, a mobile photo booth, was on hand to help guests capture the moment.

The annual Oyster Roast is a critical fundraising event for the St. Johns Riverkeeper, helping to support its effective advocacy, outreach, and education programs.
