How to Shellabrate
2023 Greenport Shellabration marks our 12th anniversary Shellabrating with our supporters! It is traditionally held the first weekend of December in Greenport Village and has been enjoyed by thousands of "Shellabrants" through the years.
On Shellabration weekend, Greenport’s beloved restaurants offer special discounted food + drink pairings for $8 and $5 respectively, which supports local seafood and beverage companies. Many boutiques and other merchants also offer special discounts and some even donate a portion of their proceeds directly to CCE Marine Program. Your Wristband allows you access to all of these deals and discounts. And you’ll kick off the day with complimentary raw bar oysters and drink tasting upon check in.
It’s a great way to explore the historic maritime culture of Greenport, eat local, and enjoy time with friends and family!

Shellabration Details
Shellabration is an annual culinary celebration that showcases local shellfish and benefits Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program’s SPAT Program and Back to the Bays Initiative. 2023 Greenport Shellabration marks our 12th anniversary Shellabrating with our supporters! It is traditionally held the first weekend of December in Greenport Village and has been enjoyed by thousands of "Shellabrants" through the years.
This year we will have 3 Official Shellabration Check in Locations: Little Creek Oysters, First & South, and Greenport Harbor Brewery (Greenport location, not Peconic!). You may pick up your wristbands from any of these three locations. For our sponsors, please pick up your wristbands at the Greenport Harbor location.
Wristbands will not be mailed, they will be held for you under the name you reserved them under. Weekend Wristbands will be available for pick up beginning Saturday at 11am. Sunday Only Wristbands may only be picked up on Sunday beginning at 11am.
*WRISTBANDS MUST BE CLAIMED, AND RAW BAR AND DRINK TICKETS REDEEMED, BY 2PM!
Our participating Greenport Shellabration establishments DO enforce the wristbands, and have planned to make available only as many of the pairing specials on their special Shellabration menus as there are participants in the event. We ask that you please not put any additional strain on them by trying to participate in the event without a wristband. Most restaurants are still serving their regular lunch menus, and have dining space available for those not participating in Shellabration, so by all means we invite you to enjoy these fantastic establishments if you are in Greenport during Shellabration weekend. Be sure to check out the many fun things happening in Greenport this holiday season and reserve those wristbands well in advance next year!
