Seafood Festival Is One of Our Favorites
Bring your umbrellas and a little bit of humor, but by all means bring yourself to the 7th Annual Outer Banks Seafood Festival held at the Outer Banks Event Site in Nags Head.
The annual affair celebrating the amazing heritage and history of our Outer Banks watermen who have eked out a living working the Ocean and sounds is remarkable, and the Seafood Festival tells a part of that story.
The story is told through demonstrations of fishermen working with nets; through cooking demonstrations and best of all, lots and lots of freshly prepared local seafood from 11 or the Outer Banks finest restaurants.
It's a great time, and yes, it is supposed to rain a little bit tomorrow, but every forecast we've seen call for light rain, so we're going to accept the forecast is accurate.
The festival is more than just seafood and some working watermen showing how they earn a living. There's live music all day, games for that the whole family will enjoy and crafts and some excellent artwork from Outer Banks artists.
The Seafood Festival is one event that truly is family friendly and every year in the past families have come and had a great time.
