Pearl and Oyster Music Festival welcomes crowds for music and family day | Community

More than 40 vendors set up shop up and down 4^th Street for the weekend, centered around food sellers and a bier garden set up at the park. 

The committee of citizens that organized the festival also hosted a booth near the park, conducting a fundraising raffle of an antique dollhouse, which was won by Robi from Bay City. 

Bay City’s fire department got in on the fun with water ball fights outside their station early Saturday afternoon.

Saturday’s musical entertainment kicked off with a performance by Tombstone Shadow, playing covers of Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. Shades of Huey performed in the early afternoon, offering renditions of Huey Lewis and the News’s repertoire, followed by Alabama cover band Roll On. The evening wrapped up with Fever Band, playing Elvis Presley’s hits.

On Sunday, the festival hosted its first-ever kids talent show on the mainstage, with the winner taking home $100, while second and third place finishers received $50 and $25, respectively.
