ST. MICHAELS, MARYLAND — The Wildset Hotel on North Street is planning its first Field & Tide culinary festival for Nov. 6-7: a sit-down dinner Friday and a food fair Saturday, both in the hotel's Milk Truck Garage.

Saturday's fair, Nov. 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is billed as a Chesapeake celebration. The ticket covers fresh-shucked oysters from Metompkin Bay and Harris Creek, small plates from the chefs and barbecue from Bark BBQ, plus live music from Kentavius Jones. Beer from Other Half Brewing and Eden Town Brewing and cocktails from the hotel's Ruse restaurant are sold separately. The organizer says a portion of proceeds will go to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Friday's dinner, Nov. 6 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. with doors at 6, is a four-course, family-style meal. Ruse chef Michael Correll is cooking with Chris Morgan and Gerald Addison, whom the organizer describes as the owners and opening chefs of Maydan in Washington. The menu is described as Mid-Atlantic, farm-to-table and Middle Eastern-inspired, with produce from the hotel's own farm, Rolles Range. A wine pairing is a separate ticket.

Eventbrite lists Friday dinner tickets at $273.95, the optional wine pairing at an additional $113.89 and Saturday fair tickets at $97.88, including Eventbrite fees. The dinner and wine pairing prices also include a 20% gratuity. Refunds are available up to three days before the event.

The hotel is at 113 North St. in St. Michaels.
