The Oyster Eat is 75 years old. The U.S. Congress has recognized the event for its cultural and historical significance. Tickets are $27 in advance or $30 at the door tonight at 8:00 p.m. The Lewes Fire Department hosts its ladies-only Shrimp Feast tonight as well, an event that’s in its 22nd year. Tickets are also available in advance.
