Welcome to the first annual Big Cypress Groundhog Day Oyster Roast! The event will be held on the eve of the eve of G-hog Day (Saturday, Jan 31, 2026) at Wrightsville Beach Brewery. Tickets are now available for the all-you-can-eat roast. Grab a Roast + Raw ticket for access to the roast, plus a discounted dozen on the half-shell (with all the good fixin’s). Enjoy a live acoustic set by the talented Adam Carswell, and wear your best Groundhog Day costume (be creative!) for a shot at raffle prizes like Big Cypress merch and free oyster deliveries.

This year’s event will benefit the Alec Michael Pearson Outdoorsman Memorial Foundation. Alec was a dear friend, fishing partner, and dive buddy who lost his life in a freediving accident in 2022. A portion of ticket and beer sales will go toward our goal of sinking an artificial reef in Alec’s memory. A link to donate to his memorial foundation can be found here (Link to Donate)

We’re excited to see you for the most under-celebrated holiday of the year! Come drink beer and eat oysters for a good cause.
