The 2024 Paris Olympics & National Oyster Day (August 5th) are rapidly approaching, and Venteux, the French brasserie on Chicago’s Mag Mile is celebrating both with their first-ever Oyster Olympics! This three-day oyster-centric celebration will feature a lavish all-you-can-eat cocktail party benefiting Special Olympics Chicago (with bronze, silver, and gold ticket tiers!), a hands-on oyster-shucking class, $1 oysters and more. A portion of proceeds from the Oyster Olympics party will support Special Olympics Chicago's mission of providing athletic training & sports competitions for adults and children with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Tickets for the Oyster Olympics can be purchased here and tickets for the Parisian Pearls Oyster & Champagne Pairing Class can be purchased here.
