PHOTO GALLERY: The beauties of Oyster Fest in Montreal

In its fifth year, Montreal’s Oyster Fest threw its biggest party yet down at the Old Port, on Terrasses Bonsecours Island.

There was food (lots of it, oysters aside, c/o such local restaurants as Garde Manger, Grinder, Imadake, l’Orignal, Kyo and Taverne Monkland), drinks poured by the staffs of Burgundy Lion and Philemon, a shucking competition and more.

In addition, 100 per cent of proceeds went to the Open Pier Foundation, a non-profit organization on a mission to “promote the sustainability of aquatic life.”

Photographer Saverio Mirarchi Jr. captured the Oyster Fest in Montreal for Cult MTL.
