Maryland officials are inviting seafood lovers to celebrate the state’s prized bivalves during a special promotional event later this month.
The Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Maryland’s Best program announced Monday that Chesapeake Oyster Week will take place from March 20 through March 31. The department is working alongside the Oyster Recovery Partnership to organize the celebration.
During the 12-day event, participating establishments will offer special pricing and promotional deals featuring Maryland-grown oysters. The initiative aims to highlight the quality of local oyster harvests while encouraging consumers to support the regional seafood industry.
The announcement comes as Maryland continues efforts to promote its aquaculture sector and the Chesapeake Bay’s oyster recovery programs.
