Enjoy an evening out that kicks off a favorite annual event on the Crystal Coast by attending the Kayak for the Warriors Reception. This fun night that takes place at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores goes to benefit a very worthy cause, (wounded veterans in the Carteret County area and beyond), while also providing lots of ways to celebrate and have fun with locals and visitors alike.

The wonderfully entertaining event has a stunning backdrop, thanks to the aquarium locale, and attendees are free to explore the different galleries to garner a new after-hours perspective of the aquarium’s inherent wonders. In addition to the varying exhibits, the event also features an array of delicious fare from local restaurants, wine and beer for attendees, and a number of corresponding events to enhance the enchantment of the evening. There is a silent auction with roughly 100 items from local artists, craftsmen and merchants, and there’s also an action-packed live auction that heightens the excitement. With lots of coveted items up for grabs, (like Panthers football tickets or holiday vacations), as well as a stunning setting, the annual Kayak for the Warriors Reception is a wonderful event and charity that fun-loving folks everywhere will adore.
