The Oyster Bay Garden Tour is an annual event that invites visitors to explore the stunning private gardens nestled throughout the Oyster Bay area. This self-guided tour offers a unique opportunity to experience a variety of garden designs, from lush, vibrant floral displays to peaceful outdoor retreats, reflecting the creativity and dedication of local garden enthusiasts. The tour features a selection of gardens that range from well-established landscapes to more contemporary, innovative designs, showcasing the beauty of nature and the talent of the community.

​

The tour typically runs from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, giving participants the afternoon to stroll through the gardens at their own pace. Each garden offers something different, from native plant gardens and serene water features to sustainable landscapes—providing inspiration for seasoned gardeners and nature lovers alike.

​

Following the tour, guests are invited to a waterfront cocktail party at Cooper Bluff starting at 4:00 PM. This post-tour celebration features passed hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and exciting raffle items, including a 50/50 raffle, all set against the backdrop of Oyster Bay’s beautiful shoreline.

​

The Oyster Bay Garden Tour is not only a celebration of the area’s natural beauty, but also an opportunity to support the Oyster Bay Main Street Association’s Beautification Committee. All proceeds from the event directly benefit the committee’s efforts to enhance and beautify the downtown area, contributing to ongoing revitalization projects and the preservation of Oyster Bay’s unique charm.
