Historic Oregon Coast Clambake Revived Again for Fourth

(Newport, Oregon) - The seventh Annual Newport Clambake and Seafood BBQ again comes to Newport on July 4, with food and fun on the beach, all with a historical theme that recalls the days when Nye Beach was actually a separate village from Newport, connected only by a muddy, ruddy set of wooden planks.

This year, the theme is pets, with a pet parade and the festival working in partnership with the Lincoln County Animal Shelter. Among the live music, food, horse rides and all-age family fun, there will be pet vaccinations and licensing offered all day by the Friends of the Lincoln County Animal Shelter, a non-profit formed to generate revenue needed to keep the county's animal shelter open.

The Newport Clambake and Seafood BBQ goes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Nye Beach Turnaround.

Starting this pet-friendly event, a pet parade will begin at the Performing Arts Center at 9:30 a.m., ending at the turnaround at 9:45 a.m. A free shuttle to the event will be available at the courthouse, on Olive St., one block from Highway 101.

The Newport Clambake and Seafood BBQ will be held on July 4 on the Nye Beach Turnaround, linking it to other Fourth of July events in Newport.

Historically, city-organized clambakes were often held in the summer season in Nye Beach from the late 1800’s, until what is apparently known to be the last one, held in 1918. Many of the clambakes took place on the beach, with wooden tables loaded with food. Clams were cooked in the sand, inside a fire pit surrounded by rocks and with seaweed thrown in.

One of the key founders, Berniece Hammon, had seen historical photos of it and was inspired to revive it, especially after the renewal project for Nye Beach was completed. It has since morphed into the Newport Clambake and Seafood BBQ.
