The 32nd Annual North Carolina Oyster Festival was no different than the rest, it was a huge success! Droves of people came out for the Oyster Shucking Competition, the Oyster Stew Cook-Off (won by new comer Pelican Perch of Ocean Isle Beach this year), the Oyster Fest Road Race, vendors of all kinds, rides and games, great local seafood and music!
Great performers including American Idol contestant Casey James performed on the big stage, also performing were the Craig Woolard Band, Sea Cruz, Jaded Mayberry, Jim Quick and the Coastline Band, Sawgrass and the New Beginnings Praise Band.
This year’s festival was such a hit we can’t wait to do it all over again next year. Here are some photos and a great video put together from the event! Enjoy and we’ll see you next year!
