Oyster and beer festival Shucktoberfest is returning to Shirlington later this month.
More than 40 food vendors will be selling craft beer, oysters and food at the Village at Shirlington (2700 S. Quincy Street). The event will be held Saturday, Oct. 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The fourth-annual event is put on by Copperwood Tavern (4021 Campbell Ave).
For younger attendees, there will be a kids’ zone with face painters, balloon artists and family-friendly games. Dogs are welcome, too.
Tickets are $40 and include a wristband for adults age 21 and older, a 5-ounce beer-tasting mug and 10 event tickets. Each event ticket is redeemable for one 5-ounce beer sample or two oysters.
Tickets can be purchased at the event, but organizers recommended pre-purchasing them online.
