Outer Banks Seafood Festival 2018

The Outer Banks is much more than simply a vacation destination. The OBX has derived from many rich historical elements, one of which is the fishing history of Wanchese. The Outer Banks Seafood Festival is held to remind the community and visitors of this unique history. In 2012 multiple local organizations joined forces and created the Outer Banks Seafood Festival.
