March is Oyster Month at Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar

March is Oyster Month at Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar, and we’ll be celebrating with contests, giveaways, and specials all month long. All of these oyster-ific happenings will culminate with the eighth-annual High West Oyster Fest on April 2 at EXDO Event Center in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood. (More info on that below.)

Oyster Month is a long-running tradition at Jax. Jax was a raw-oyster pioneer in its early days and built its reputation on bringing fresh shellfish to our landlocked state. Jax began hosting its now-legendary oyster-eating competitions in 1997, and has shucked millions of oysters for bivalve-loving guests since first opening in ‘94.

While Oyster Month is all about oysters (obviously), it’s also about philanthropy. For every one of Jax’s proprietary Emersum Oysters sold, 10 cents will be donated to First Descents, an organization that provides outdoor experiences to young adults fighting cancer. Additionally, all proceeds generated from High West Oyster Fest will also be donated to First Descents.

Oyster Month festivities at Jax will include:
