Festivals

An annual event during October that promotes the positive social and economic impact of the seafood industry on the citizens of North Carolina. In addition, the festival aims to educate the public about seafood and its importance to the state economy and publicize the wide variety of seafood indigenous to North Carolina. This great event established scholarship programs for educational pursuits related to the seafood industry and provides the opportunity for North Carolina non-profit, civic, church and educational organizations to raise funds through participation in the festival.
