Join us for the 2026 Taste of the Coast Celebration!
Saturday, September 12th | 6:30 – 9:00 PM | Crystal Coast Civic Center
The festivities will include food and wine pairings, fresh N.C. oysters (raw and steamed), live music, a beautiful view of the sunset over the water, and a wonderful group of coastal supporters!
Over the past 40 years, the North Carolina Coastal Federation has worked alongside coastal communities to protect and restore the unique North Carolina coast.
As a member-supported non-profit, the Coastal Federation’s goals are obtained through a variety of programs and diverse partners from all walks of life. Through efforts for clean coastal waters, abundant salt marsh, thriving oysters, effective coastal management, and marine debris removal, the Federation and North Carolina’s coastal communities continue to work together for a healthy coast!
