About this event
The North Carolina Oyster Festival is put on in Ocean Isle Beach town center park by the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce. The weekend mixes arts, crafts, food and live entertainment, with booths of handmade jewelry, holiday decor, natural beauty products, handcrafted clothing, woodcraft and unique cuisines from local artists. Music runs from old-school rock-n-roll to country, R&B and classic beach tunes. Oyster shucking and cooking contests let you watch or join in. Food truck vendors and local restaurants serve the local cuisine.
Our take: Leave coolers and outside food in the car, then use the shucking and cooking contests as your stops between music sets and the food trucks.
Parking
No alcohol, smoking, vapes, pets, coolers, backpacks, outside food, outside drinks, outside water, or outside cups or containers.
