Oysterfest officials work with seafood sources along the Texas Gulf Coast to locate the freshest oysters and other seafood as well as the most popular entertainment.   For the past 30 years, the Fulton Volunteer Fire Department have used proceeds from the festival to purchase life saving and fire fighting equipment.  Proceeds from this year's festival will be used to update current equipment, purchase additional protective gear and add to the building fund for the proposed New Fire Station. Oysterfest proceeds are the major source of funding for fire protection equipment in the community.

  Come join us in Fulton for a fun-filled weekend!!
