North Carolina Seafood Festival

North Carolina Seafood Festival

Morehead City Waterfront  |  252-726-6273  | ncseafoodfestival.org

Seafood is simply sensational along our coast, and the North Carolina Seafood Festival on the Morehead City waterfront is “Where Seafood and Sea-Fun Meet!”. Held on the first weekend in October, it’s worth marking your calendars now for the coming year! Activities and attractions abound for the entire family — artisans, games and rides, an 8K race, and musical stages. The Flounder Fling adds to the lighthearted fun. It’s all things seafood that make this festival unique. Learn about the state’s seafood industry and visit cooking demonstrations and tastings by local chefs along with dozens of booths that offer a sampling of local seafood. Learn how to prepare the catch of the day and get your fill of tasty delights from the sea’s bounty. The Blessing of the Fleet is a festival tradition.

It showcases the bounty of our coastal waters and the amazing talent we have in those who know how to prepare it, as well as music, artisans and family fun.”
