The mascot for the annual Halifax Oyster Festival is an anthropomorphic oyster named Pearl, who has over a dozen eyes, long legs, and a luscious pair of red lips. This odd choice of mascot was the brainchild of Christine Oreskovich, the publisher of the local newspaper The Coast and the main organizer of the festival, who spoke to the CBC in 2022 about Pearl's origins.
This was the fun part of the festival, trying to create a look and an ambiance that was just not your regular kind of food festival.
