NC Oyster Festival 2021
On October 16 and 17, the NC Oyster Festival will take place, bringing together upwards of 30,000 people to the great town of Ocean Isle Beach. Times are a little different nowadays, but we would still love to see you there. At McClure Realty Vacations, the health and safety of our guests and staff are always our top priority. The same goes for the organizers of the festival. We encourage you to take advantage of the open spaces and less crowded venues this year.
The Ocean Isle Beach Town Center Park will be transformed into an airy, open walking area filled with live entertainment, crafts, food, contests, and more. As you walk around and mingle at the various vendor booths, live music from an exciting line-up of performers will be playing throughout the festival. Visitors who like to dance can have a Footloose moment on the dance floor in front of the stage!
Of course, you cannot come to the NC Oyster Festival without trying some tasty mollusks! This year, you will be able to try some delicious seafood from the many local restaurants and food truck vendors who’ll be sprinkled around the festival grounds. In 2022, the oyster eating contest and the oyster stew cooking competition will return! No worries; however, you can still participate in the oyster shucking contest on Saturday. Get your practice in before your vacation! You can also stand on the sidelines, cheering on folks as a spectator.
