Growing Cape OysterFest charges fee for first time

WELLFLEET, Mass — The Wellfleet OysterFest has a new feature this year that might be unwelcome: People have to pay to get in.

The Cape Cod Times reports (http://bit.ly/1atTl36) that for the first time ever people will be charged to get into the festival Saturday and Sunday. The cost for anyone over 12 is $5 or $8 for a two-day pass.

The festival manager says the money will help improve safety and support future festivals.

The Wellfleet OysterFest started as a small hometown event in 2002, but it's grown over the years, along with the costs for sanitation, insurance and paid staff. Attendance recently reached 25,000 over its two-day span, a size that the Times reports has turned off some locals.

The event is sponsored by the Shellfish Promotion and Tasting nonprofit in Wellfleet.
