This annual event raises funds for our local fishing industry through the Outer Banks Community Foundation. But before the seafood can be served, it has to be brought to market. For generations, hard working families on the Outer Banks have been doing just that, giving their all to bring fresh, local seafood to your table. This fall, on October 18th, join us as we celebrate their efforts and our l

ong-standing fishing heritage. The Festival also showcases a variety of tasty seafood creations prepared by some of the Outer Banks’ best restaurants. There will be entertainment throughout the event with music; cooking demonstrations; friendly competitions; and all manner of family fun – all relating to seafood. We hope you can join us!
