Come Shell-A-Brate with the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL)! Shell-A-Bration is a high energy night in the heart of the Louisiana swamp where fresh oysters straight from the gulf, seafood prepared by Dickie Brennan and Company and local beer, wine and other beverages set the stage for a coastal celebration. Louisiana’s finest oyster farmers and shuckers, including the NOLA Oyster Queen, will be on site serving oysters while T Marie and the Bayou Juju bring a mix of swamp pop, soul and Gulf Coast rhythm that anchors the night in the sound of coastal Louisiana. Guests can explore a curated silent auction and learn how CRCL’s recycling and conservation work is strengthening coastal ecosystems. As the sun sets, the swamp comes alive with gators resting nearby, otters gliding through the water and black bears moving through their habitat, creating an atmosphere where food, music and restoration come together in one unforgettable night.
