Come celebrate everything Oyster as we transform OIB Town Center Park into a walking district offering a variety of foods, crafts, contests and musical performances. With the support of our dedicated committee of volunteers, the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, many of our local businesses and the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce, the NC Oyster Festival is your destination for fun.
Parking & Shuttle info
A FREE shuttle service will be provided from three designated lots near the Festival. The shuttles will run non-stop during festival hours. Please keep in mind that during the hours of 11:00am – 2:00pm, we experience high traffic volume onto the island. Please allow extra time as you may have to a longer wait time to get onto a shuttle.
Look for our amazing volunteer parking crew to direct you in our designated lots. Please note that parking in non-designated lots may cause your vehicle to be towed.
All bus shuttles follow the same route – they are not assigned to a specific lot.
Lot Locations & Bus Route: Parking lots and bus routes to be announced soon!
Wheelchair Accessibility: More details will be announced soon about our handicap drop off and parking lot. The NC Oyster Festival is navigable for people with mobility disabilities, however uneven surfaces may be present.
