Join the North Carolina Coastal Federation for the Taste of the Coast Celebration, a fun summer evening celebrating North Carolina’s beautiful and bountiful coast!

This festive celebration will include food and wine pairings, fresh N.C. oysters (raw and steamed), live music, and a new raffle for a coastal weekend experience. Back again this year is the outstanding silent auction featuring the best of the coast, from weekend trips, boat tours, artwork and more, as well as live music, local seafood, and great company. Our auction will open June 30 and new items will be added every week!

This casual celebration will take place on Saturday, August 5, on the banks of Bogue Sound at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City. You can also make plans to attend the Pelican Awards, a separate event starting at 5pm at Carteret Community College.

Registration for the Taste of the Coast Celebration opens May 1. Register by 5pm on June 30 and enjoy 10% off your ticket price, using discount code EARLY.
