an Oyster Roast?

The 15th Annual Milwaukee Oyster Roast is one of the more unique events you'll attend in 2018. Popular in the "low country," oyster roasts involve copious amounts of freshly-steamed oysters, beer, music and fun, not necessarily in that order! It's so simple...we can't imagine why it took so long to get up to Milwaukee!

This year we take the Roast outside! (Hopefully.) We are excited to be hosting this year's Roast at Milwaukee's newest event space: THE IVY HOUSE.  Built with a modern, "green" aesthetic and room for both indoor and outdoor seating, we may have found the perfect venue!  join us at the IVY HOUSE on Sunday, September 23rd, 2018.

WE NEED SPONSORS!  All proceeds from the Roast will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!  While we have partnered with a smattering of return sponsors, there is strength in numbers and we could use a little more help in order to bring you what is sure to be the most rockin' Oyster Roast ever!
