After a long wait, Kingfisher is reviving Oysterfest!

The much-anticipated annual event, celebrating all that is bivalves and seafood, is back at 2564 E. Grant Rd. Happening during the University of Arizona’s homecoming weekend, Kingfisher will be serving up multiple varieties of oysters, along with lots of menu favorites from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturday, November 4.

The entire Kingfisher parking lot will be transformed into an outdoor dining room, with kegs, select cocktails, and bubbles outside, and then another full bar available inside.

Indoor dining is available by reservation or walk-in, and outdoor dining is first-come, first-served.
