Held annually in May, this event is a favorite amongst members of the museum & museum guests! There are lovely table settings, floral arrangements, a variety of small bites and desserts, and of course beautiful hats. The annual hat contest brings a little competition and a whole lot of creativity to the museum grounds every year!

One of the benefits of becoming a member of The May Museum is the Annual Oyster Roast of course! A yearly membership is your ticket in where it is all you can eat oysters, sides, and beverages! This is a yearly event that is catered and is set on the museum grounds. It brings socializing with friends, meeting new ones, laughter, and obviously lots of great food! Membership forms and information can be accessed by clicking the membership information page.

Step into an old-fashioned holiday tradition filled with music, laughter, and warm spiced cider. A wassail is a cheerful winter gathering where the community comes together to toast good health, enjoy live entertainment, and share in the spirit of the season. Expect delicious small bites and desserts, good company, and the comforting aroma of hot mulled cider (the classic “wassail bowl”) welcoming you in from the cold. This event is open to the public and a great way to meet new friends and see old ones too!
This event will be held outdoors on the museum grounds. It is open to the public. The annual hat contest will be held during this event. Creativity definitely wins!
Just like the beginning of summer, we will end summer in style. Bring the entire family to enjoy live music, food trucks, beverages and vendors on the museum grounds. We hate to see summer go, but at least it will go out having a great time!
Our Annual Oyster Roast is the reason buying a yearly membership is worth it! It is a catered event with musical guests, beverages, and of course oysters! This showcases our appreciation for our members and we enjoy it year after year.
