Our Calendar of Events on the Crystal Coast

We’re sharing a Crystal Coast calendar of events so you can plan for fun, sun, and everything in between, all while you enjoy our coast!

North Carolina’s Crystal Coast has family-friendly events and plenty of things to do in the Spring and Summer leading into the Fall and early Winter. Using our Crystal Coast calendar of events, you can keep up to date with local activities, events, and happenings for one and all – from Swansboro, NC., Emerald Isle, NC., Atlantic Beach, NC, and Beaufort, NC, which was voted “Coolest Small Town.”

Here you’ll find a list of festivals, concerts, tours, events, museums, and attractions, including the Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores (if any are scheduled) – all centered around what our coast is known for – beautiful beaches, eco-tours, history, fishing, food, and family fun.

Which Crystal Coast Events Will You Choose? 

The Crystal Coast of North Carolina is enchanting and rich in coastal culture. Looking for a low-key getaway or an action-packed adventure during your visit? Check out our monthly Crystal Coast calendar of events for a list of events to make the most of your vacation while you’re here.
