2012 Carolina Chocolate Festival
Friday, February 3rd, 2012Emerald Isle Fireworks 2011
Monday, June 27th, 2011Well good news! At least I think it is anyway. The Town of Emerald Isle will be having their fireworks display at Bogue Inlet Pier. To me it’s the only appropriate venue for fireworks on the fourth of July. McLean Park just didn’t do much for me when it came to the fireworks.

BEAUFORT, NC – Never ever duplicated, the Beaufort Pirate Invasion is scheduled for August 13 and 14, 2010.
For the 2010 Beaufort Pirate Invasion, the oldest North Carolina seaport is authentically transformed while reliving the actual invasion of its Colonial past. It becomes 1747, and the streets bustle with activity as news spreads of Spanish privateers stealing command of supply ships in Beaufort Harbor. Beaufort and its people can expect to be targeted next!

Swansboro Flotilla 2009
Saturday, November 21st, 20092010 Swansboro Flotilla Information
One of my favorite events that help to usher in the holiday season here on the Crystal Coast is the Swansboro Flotilla. Last year I caught it from my backyard. In years past I watched it go by from the wildlife ramp in Cedar Point. No matter where you view it from, it is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. UPDATE: FLotilla has been postponed until November 28th, 2009 due to the high winds.
