2025 BOB Fest Info & Details



​Enjoy the best winter party in Coastal Virginia!  Rock out to The Deloreans in 65,000 sq. ft. of heated party tents!

There is nothing quite like THE BOB FEST. 

Tickets include:
All-You-Can-Eat:
Oysters (steamed or raw), BBQ & Brunswick Stew. Since tickets only include food, there is not a DD Tix for this festival. 

​Drinks are all pay-as-you-go and include:
Bloody Mary's, Specialty Vodka Drinks, Wine, Beer, Water/Sodas an NEW for 2025 we will also offer Non-Alcoholic Beers and Sparking Waters.  

Event is held under large heated tents. Unless you purchase a seated table, this is a STANDING EVENT.  So, Early Bird Indiv Tix and General Admit Tix do not include seating. There are standing food tables in the outside oyster courtyard and in the back of the Party Tent for those without seated tables.

VIP Tables, Sponsor Tables and Private Party Areas are first up for renewal to last year's participants.  If any open up, we contact those on the table/party area wait list.
