*The deadline to be on the printed map is November 6, 2023. After this date, we cannot guarantee printing on the map, but you can still register by filling out the form and we’ll do our best to promote your establishment via social media, at check in, and on our digital map.
As you know, Shellabration is an annual culinary celebration that showcases local shellfish, wine and beverages, highlights the amazing restaurants and merchants of Greenport, and benefits Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program. It is traditionally held the first weekend of December in Greenport Village and is attended by 1,500 "Shellabrants". In 2020, we pivoted and offered a virtual event as not just a fundraiser for our SPAT Program and Back to the Bays Initiative, but as a platform to help promote the oyster growing community, educate the public about the importance of our shellfish and habitat restoration work, and of course to support the local Greenport Village business community in any way we could. We are very pleased that like in 2021 and 2022, we will have our traditional in-person restaurant walk. We hope that the event is successful and enjoyable for everyone!
Details for this year:
The pricing of the pairings is $8 for a small plate and $5 for a tasting pour. Same as last year.
Many other aspects will remain the same: a two-day event taking place from Noon-4pm on December 2 & 3; “show your wristband, get the deal” on a local seafood/shellfish dish and local wine or beer pairing; wristband proceeds support our SPAT Program and our Back to the Bays Initiative to enhance and restore marine habitat and shellfish populations. So by participating you are directly supporting these efforts and we are so appreciative!
If you choose to participate, please choose a form below to fill out by November 6, 2023. Even if you are unsure of the menu items or beverage choices you will serve at this time (or store promotion), filling out the form to the best of your current knowledge ensures your participation this year.
