The North Carolina Seafood Festival — Attraction in Morehead City

Amazing Experience. Lots of choices for seafood at great prices. Alot of church organizations, teams, outreach programs that cook. A few independent food vendors, promotional advertisement from local businesses and dealerships. Things you need for your home like art decor, pet supplies, house hold goods, etc. You can sit in a new car, after trying local wines, finally buy a new necklace, there is so much to do. There is live music, people preaching at you with bull horns. It's so much fun the fireworks over the water is amazing. I rode on a two hour boat ride and got to experience the sky twinkle all for $15. If your riding the boats book early. A few things l ate...

This year has the inaugural Port of Pours which had 15+ beer vendors with 50+ beers for sampling. It was the first time they did it so there were a couple bugs they need to work out for next year but overall it was a great experience! Definitely...

I went on Friday and it was typical festival atmosphere. Some high points for me were the wine tasting . They had 2 chefs preparing various things from a set menu that you could watch him prepare and eat , I believe that was $25 You can go on a boat ride for an hour which is 10. A person. There's also a boat ride with seafood dinner menu and that's a bit more. Parking was not hard to find but a lot of places did charge anywhere from 10 to 20 dollars. They had rides for kids. Lots of vendors. There are restaurants if you don't want to eat from a food truck. I will go next year but a...
