Visitors who crave great tastes and plenty of coastal atmosphere will want to make a date to attend the annual Flavorfest, which is quickly becoming one of the most popular local festivals on the Crystal Coast foodies’ scene. Held in mid to late October every year, this afternoon festival is a delicious combination of food, drink, and fellowship that will appease any appetite for plenty of food-oriented fun.
Flavorfest is held at the Islander Resort & Hotel, and the beachy setting ties in perfectly with the wide array of local and coastal flavors that are on full display. Patrons can enjoy ample samples of a variety of craft beers, including IPAs, ales, pilsners, and stouts, which are made by regional or North Carolina breweries. In addition, there is a wide array of delectable North Carolina seafood dishes that use the local fare in creative and mouthwatering ways to the delight of patrons. With live music available both at the event and at corresponding eateries and businesses around the area, visitors can turn Flavorfest into a full weekend or week of delicious coastal cuisine in the heart of the Crystal Coast. Tickets are available to purchase in advance roughly a month before the event.
