Virginia City Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry
Have a ball (or a few!) alongside thousands of other daring revelers for a party that only the Comstock could throw. Typically occurring each March around St. Patrick’s Day weekend, this beloved annual event takes over the entirety of Virginia City, combining Rocky Mountain oyster tastings with a costumed saloon crawl and holiday parade.
Virginia City goes nuts for St. Patrick’s Day. Get to the historic Comstock Lode community for Rocky Mountain oysters, thousands of decked-out revelers, and a main street parade.
Cooks from all over come to Virginia City to serve up tasty testes and compete to win titles like “Best Of,” “People’s Choice,” and more. Grilled, smoked, deep fried, or even served in a taco—sample as many Rocky Mountain oysters as you can enjoy and cast your vote. Options do run out, so get there early!
Cheer on the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, dress in your most colorful and outlandish garb for the costume contest, and get in on the St. Patrick Made Me Do It Saloon Crawl. The entire day is one massive party, and the atmosphere can’t be beat west of the Mississippi.
Pick up a Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry package based on how many samples you want to devour, or go nuts with the “Full Monty” upgrade. In addition to all the eats, you’ll get a commemorative saloon crawl cup, a dozen drink samples, sweet treats, and multiple votes.
