Outer Banks Seafood Festival - CANCELED

The 2026 Outer Banks Seafood Festival has been canceled.

Due to the approaching coastal storm and a statement made by the Dare County Emergency Management Team, we have decided to cancel the 2026 Seafood Festival event.

This has been a difficult decision made with the safety of our vendors and guests in mind.
