2025 Annual Oyster Roast at the Dill Sanctuary

Join us on Feb. 22, noon to 3 p.m., for The Charleston Museum’s 2025 Annual Oyster Roast! Enjoy an incredible view of the Stono River at the Dill Sanctuary while you listen to live music with The Blue Plantation Band, shuck oysters, eat delicious barbecue and the perfect sides from Rappahannock Oyster Bar, and enjoy sweet treats from Bennie the Treat Truck and Charleston Sugar Studio.

Attendees are also invited to join Museum Curators for a guided tour of Battery Pringle. Bring your appetites, your coolers (this event is BYOB), your chairs and blankets and join us for a perfect day in the Lowcountry. The Dill Sanctuary, a wildlife sanctuary, is only open to the public for select programs with The Charleston Museum.
