The St. Simons Land Trust’s Annual Oyster Roast will take place on February 20, 2027, from 4:30 – 7:30 PM, and we need helping hands to make it a success! Whether it’s welcoming guests, serving oysters or helping with setup and cleanup, there’s a role for you.
Spend time with friends, meet new neighbors, and help protect the island we love at this iconic Golden Isles event.
The Oyster Roast has always been a celebration of community. In 2026, over 90 dedicated volunteers helped make the event run smoothly and efficiently.
A record-breaking amount of funds were raised to directly support the Land Trust’s mission of protecting and preserving environmentally and culturally significant land on St. Simons.
From check-in to last call, the event reflected the deep commitment Land Trust volunteers have to conservation.
