For 45 years, the NC Oyster Festival has been bringing people together in Ocean Isle Beach to celebrate community, coastal tradition, and everything that makes this area so special.

As we get ready for this yearโ€™s festival, we want to take a moment to thank some of our long-standing partners who continue to help make the event possible year after year.

A huge thank you to the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, the Museum of Coastal Carolina , and Pelican's Perch for their continued partnership, support, and dedication to this event and our community. Their involvement has helped the NC Oyster Festival grow into one of Brunswick Countyโ€™s favorite traditions.

Weโ€™re excited to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the NC Oyster Festival this October and canโ€™t wait to make even more memories together.
