Both categories have reached capacity, and we are currently on a waiting list status.

Weโ€™ve also seen individuals in the comments claiming to have vendor spaces available or offering to help with vendor registration. Please be careful. Do not send money or personal information to anyone offering vendor spaces through social media comments or private messages.

If you have questions about vendor availability or believe you may have encountered a scam, please contact the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce directly at 910-754-6644. Our team can help you verify that the information youโ€™ve received is legitimate.

Please share this post to help us get the word out and protect our festival community.

Official NC Oyster Festival hats will be available in TWO styles, but there are only 1,000 hats total. Theyโ€™ll be sold first come, first served while supplies last, and once theyโ€™re gone, theyโ€™re gone!

Look for the hats where our official festival T-shirts are sold at the front of the park near the basketball courts. Cash and all major credit cards will be accepted.

Which style are you grabbing first?
