Traditions,
history and community are very important on the Crystal Coast, and many
events take place each year to celebrate these very things. From the
American Music Festival concert series each winter and the famous
Newport Pig Cooking Contest each April to the numerous athletic events
and the Core Sound Decoy Festival in December, you'll find that Carteret
County events are excellent ways to enjoy yourself and learn a little
about the area. The area's traditional festivals, even the large N.C.
Seafood Festival, have the sense of warmth often only found at family
reunions. In the midst of what may appear to be a public gathering of
random strangers, hugs and greetings are likely to break out anywhere.
Fold in with the crowd and feel right at home. The simple pleasures of
just being on the Crystal Coast provide a full plate, but including any
of the following events in your plans expands a sample taste of the area
into a real feast. Nearby communities host great events as well. Check
our
New Bern Annual Events chapter and the
Havelock and
Oriental chapters for more events.
