Chesapeake Academy's Community Oyster Roast
Enjoy yourself as you support the Chesapeake Academy in their mission to inspire each student to approach learning with curiosity and creativity, pursue excellence in all endeavors, and act with integrity — so each can make our community and world a better place.
Urbanna Oyster Festival
Partake in one of the hottest events of the year in the Northern Neck, the 67th Annual Urbanna Oyster Festival. With seafood dishes and traditional maritime culture taking center stage, attendees enjoy parades, shucking contests and live music performances. As Urbanna is just across the Rappahannock River, we will also provide a water-taxi from the Tides Inn to the festival and back. Roundtrip tickets are $50 and may be reserved with our Concierge Team.
Taste by the Bay
Join us for the annual Taste by the Bay event at our resort on November 23, a popular celebration featuring local wineries, oyster tastings, local art, music and more. Although this event is already sold-out, as a guest of the Tides Inn, you receive complimentary tickets.
