🎶 Jammy Buffet is taking over the Main Stage on Saturday, October 3rd at the North Carolina Seafood Festival! 🌴🎸

With a sound that blends Jimmy Buffett’s coastal storytelling and “Gulf & Western” style with jam-band improvisation, Jammy Buffet brings fresh energy to all the classics you know and love. Expect a mix of singalong hits, deep cuts, and laid-back island vibes that keep the party going all night long.

Catch them live from 8:00–9:00 PM, stick around for fireworks at 9:00 PM, then they’re back on stage from 9:30–10:30 PM. 🎆

It’s free. It’s live. And it’s the perfect way to spend your Saturday on the Morehead City waterfront.

Just ONE more week to get your tickets for the Shrimp Plate Fundraiser for Mark & Ashley Lewis! 🦐❤️

For a $20 donation, you’ll get a plate of LOCAL fried shrimp with sides prepared by Fat Fellas — and every ticket helps support a local sh*****ng family after the devastating loss of their boat.

🎟️ Tickets available at:
• Miss Gina’s
• Chalk & Gibbs (Beaufort)
• Truist Bank on Front St (Beaufort)
• Wild Will’s Revenge (Atlantic)
• Plain Jane’s (MHC)
• Smyrna Pentecostal Church

We also have several people selling tickets throughout the community!

A huge THANK YOU to the businesses and offices organizing staff orders and helping spread the word — including Jarrett Bay, DSS, Carteret County Courthouse, the hospital, and many more. We are happy to deliver orders of 10+ plates!

Cash or checks (made payable to Mark Lewis) accepted.

Want to help but can’t attend? You can also purchase a plate to be donated to someone in need or to local law enforcement/fire departments. If you’d like to donate a plate, message me for Venmo information and I’ll make sure your ticket goes toward a donated meal. ❤️

If you need tickets and can’t make it to one of the locations, reach out to me — we’ll make sure we get them to you!

Please share, buy a ticket, invite a friend, or help us spread the word. Every plate sold makes a difference for this family. Plan to come and eat in, purchase a dessert from the bake sale, and just visit!

❤️🦐 NCSF community, please keep the Lewis Boys family in your prayers after a devastating fire claimed their shrimp trawler earlier this week.

Captain Mark safely made it off the boat, but the family lost their livelihood in the fire and now faces an incredibly difficult road ahead. Mark and Ashley are raising two boys and are deeply rooted in our coastal community and commercial fishing industry.

They need our help right now. If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing to support the family during this heartbreaking time.
