The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana will host the first virtual iteration of its annual fundraiser, Shell-A-Bration, on Friday, February 5, 2021, 6-9 p.m.

Now in its third year, Shell-A-Bration is a community event dedicated to raising awareness and engagement for the organization’s Oyster Shell Recycling Program, Highlights of this year’s Shell-A-Bration — moved to a virtual format as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — will include the delivery of 36 farm-fresh oysters, shucking knives and a towel from Oysters XO, a virtual cooking demonstration, the fan-favorite restaurant shuck-off competition between local New Orleans restaurants, and a performance from indie-pop and rock band Sweet Crude.
