For Immediate Release: City of Westminster Announces Annual Oyster Stroll and Fire Department Open House Events on Saturday, October 11, 2025
October 7, 2025
The City of Westminster is excited to host two family-friendly events on Saturday, October 11, 2025: the annual Oyster Stroll and the Westminster Fire Department's Volunteer Recruitment Open House.
The Oyster Stroll will take place throughout Downtown Westminster from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and is expected to draw approximately 5,000 participants. Concurrently, the annual Open House at the Westminster Fire Company will run from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The Oyster Stroll is a "Shop, Slurp, and Stroll" event designed to raise awareness about the importance of oyster aquaculture in the Chesapeake Bay. Attendees can delight in fresh oysters, live music, and samples of wine, spirits, and beer while strolling through Downtown Westminster.
Just after visiting the Stroll, the public is invited to the Westminster Fire Department Open House at the station located at 28 John Street. This event is part of the Maryland State Fireman's Association's statewide recruitment activities. The day will feature free activities for children, museum tours with antique fire equipment, fire and life safety information offered by partnering agencies, and much more. Station and apparatus tours will be offered, and personnel will be available to answer any questions about becoming a volunteer member of the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Company.
Please be advised that the Oyster Stroll will necessitate partial to full road closures in Downtown Westminster from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The impacted community area includes John Street/Bond Street to Railroad Avenue/MD Route 27 and Railroad Avenue/MD Route 27 to North/South Center Street. Specifically, West Main Street from John Street/Bond Street to Railroad Avenue/MD Route 27 will be closed, and East Main Street from Railroad Avenue/MD Route 27 to North/South Center Street will also be closed.
