The festival is all about oyster shucking, community involvement and amazing music in a festival that is truly unique and like no other in Canada or South of the border which brings thousands and thousands of people to Tyne Valley each year and best of all the profits from the festival goes right back into the community making it a truly feel good experience for all and why The Tyne Valley Oyster Festival and Rock the Boat Musicfest has made our top picks for summer music festivals for the third straight year.
