Maplewood’s 8th Annual Robert J. Miller Oysterfest and Melanoma Awareness Showcases MAPSO International Flavors
The 8th annual Robert J. Miller Oysterfest, a community health event for Melanoma awareness and fundraiser featuring live outdoor music and food, is back at The Woodland on Saturday, September 7, 2024 from 5 to 10 pm. In partnership with the Township of Maplewood, since 2015 this MUST SEE event and fundraiser has raised more than $150,000 to support melanoma awareness and provide essential funds for melanoma research grants and MAPSO families in need.
New for 2024 is an international food celebration showcasing the unique flavors and styles of local MAPSO restaurants. In keeping with the tradition of this event, festivities will be held under tents at The Woodland, located at 60 Woodland Road in the heart of Maplewood Village.
Several local MAPSO restaurants and vendors will be participating in this year’s international tasting celebration representing the following regions of the world: Mexico: Jus’ Tacos, Middle East: Chutzpah, Italy: Town Hall Deli and Freemans Fish Market to name a few selections. Live music from two bands, Hoi Polloi and Black Tie Groove, will be featured throughout the night.

Miller, a local Maplewood resident of many years who passed away after a two-year battle from melanoma. The Robert J. Miller Oysterfest event raises funds for melanoma research and reserves donation contributions for local families who are facing an unexpected medical crisis. Over the last nine years, the Robert J.
