2024 Taste of the Coast Celebration
August 3 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Join the North Carolina Coastal Federation for the Taste of the Coast Celebration, a fabulous summer
evening celebrating North Carolina’s beautiful and bountiful coast! This festive celebration will include food and wine pairings, fresh N.C. oysters (raw and steamed), live music, and a wonderful group of coastal supporters!
Back again this year is the outstanding silent auction featuring the best of the coast, from weekend trips, boat tours, artwork, and more, as well as live music, local seafood, and great company. Our auction is open and new items are added weekly!
This casual celebration will take place on Saturday, August 3, on the banks of Bogue Sound at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City. You can also make plans to attend the Pelican Awards, a separate event starting at 5:00 pm at Carteret Community College.
If you’d also like to attend the Pelican Awards Ceremony at 5:30 pm at Carteret Community College, a separate event from the Celebration, click here.

Details on the Silent Auction
Our popular silent auction will be entirely paperless again this year! In addition to being better for the environment, this also allows for faster checkout at the end of the night. You’ll be able to place bids easily from your phone at the event, from bidding stations with the help of volunteers, or even at home if you cannot attend. You’ll need to set up your bidding profile with a credit card in advance to start bidding.
Please click here to set up your bidding profile (Click “Get Started”)- and be sure to use a good mobile number or email to receive updates if you are outbid!
The Coastal Federation is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible event. If you need an accommodation to access this event, please get in touch with Sarah King, by July 25, 2024.
