Short Hills Mall Event: Oyster Festival 2017

SHORT HILLS, NJ — Oysters at the mall may seem like a strange combination, but at the Mall At Short Hills, the pairing has proven successful.

From Sept. 14 to Oct. 11, the Essex County mall will host the 9th Annual Oyster Festival, a “celebration of all things oyster.” The event – “back by popular demand” - will include a four-week celebration of the seafood staple, with a special feature menu including fried, baked and raw oysters.

Don’t forget to visit the Patch Millburn-Short Hills Facebook page here.

The event will also include an official drink – the “Skiff Cocktail” – which is composed of Absolut vodka, aromatized wine, lemon, botanicals and celery bitters.

Get shuckin’ at Legal Sea Foods at The Mall At Short Hills (lower level), 1200 Morris Turnpike in Short Hills. Learn more about the festival here.
