Fall marks the start of oyster roast season, and if you’re a fan of shucking, you won’t want to miss this event.

The Alston Wilkes Society 2024 Oyster Roast, happening Sunday, Oct. 20, from 1 to 4 p.m., is a fundraiser that supports statewide programs dedicated to rebuilding lives for a safer community.

AWS works with underserved populations, including veterans facing housing instability, formerly incarcerated individuals, and at-risk adolescents, helping them regain stability + become productive members of society.

Spend an afternoon at the beautiful Bowens Island Restaurant to support AWS’s mission while enjoying:

  • Fresh roasted oysters + small bites
  • Cold drinks (beer, wine, and soft drinks included with your ticket)
  • Live music + DJ
  • Raffle prizes

Pro tip: Get your tickets in advance for $75 (they’ll be $80 at the door).
