Guests will also be treated to live music from The Coppertones, one of the South’s premier live party bands for over 20 years with a mix of Motown, beach/shag, 70s funk and newer party favorites.

Once inside, oysters can be purchased for $15 per gallon-sized bucket. Along with oysters, food trucks with various non-seafood items and other tasty treats will be available. Individual coolers will be permitted, but visitors are asked to keep their pets at home.
