Oysters take pride of place this weekend, featuring in two different events. Wellfleet's annual OysterFest celebrates all things related to the bivalve, and culminates with the much-anticipated oyster shucking contest. And the 6th Annual Oyster Symposium takes place on the Upper Cape - the first time this international event has come to North America.

Beyond oysters, if you’re a foodie - or a wine enthusiast - the focus this weekend is in Edgartown for the annual Martha’s Vineyard Food and Wine Festival.

Steve Junker and Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll discuss upcoming events every Wednesday on All Things Considered. Audio of this week's conversation is posted below - give it a listen.
