Oyster Mayhem Hits Alchemy

Get ready for the wildest shellabration of the summer. On July 25 from 6–10pm, Effing Oyster Fest 2025 hits Alchemy with a high-energy oyster shucking showdown like no other. Hospitality pros from Braven, Alchemy, and Effing Seafood will face off in a series of wild team challenges while DJ Johnny Infamous keeps the energy high and host Ryan Jespersen calls the action.

Four teams. Seven rounds. Endless chaos. From the fast-paced Boat Race Relay (Shuck fast or get shelled) to the frenzied Oyster Bar Brawl (The ultimate 4-minute frenzy), judges will score the action based on speed, skill, creativity, and teamwork. Expect sharp knives, slick moves, and plenty of flying shells as special guest Effing Rob of Effing seafood brings his bold seafood swagger to the competition.

Tickets start at $55 and include two oysters delivered to you during the night, a glass of bubbles, and access to snack options and walk-up bar service.

For our more dedicated oyster lovers, two premium tiers are available — with only 10 tickets offered per tier:

Mother of Pearl $85: A polished upgrade with extra shine. Includes general admission benefits plus access to VIP area. Six oysters with tableside service and welcome cocktail.

Shell Side Seats $105: For fans who live for the brine. Includes general admission plus a guaranteed front row seat in the VIP area, an exclusive oyster flight with tableside service, welcome cocktail, custom shucker swag bag and a VIP Photo with the winning team.

Regular dining service resumes after 10pm.

Come for the oysters, stay for the madness, and find out who will be crowned Edmonton’s top shuckers.
