Mullet Festival
(910) 326-7370
Downtown Swansboro
Swansboro, NC
October 14 - 15, 2017 This is the area's oldest festival, started more than 60 years ago to celebrate the completion of the new bridge over the White Oak River in Swansboro. The first festival was so fun that it has been celebrated ever since with a parade, a street carnival, arts and crafts, music, a fossil dig, food, and vendors of all types. Held the second weekend in October, the event centers around lots of fried mullet, of course, and it benefits local civic organizations. Admission is free.
