The Crystal Coast Boat Show

MOREHEAD CITY

Everything about the Crystal Coast Boat Show, May 19-20, hosted by the Downtown Morehead City Revitalization Association promises to be supersized. The Boat Show takes place on the MHC waterfront on Saturday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, May 20 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. 

 

The free concert on Saturday starts at 5 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. The Boat Show features both new and used boats both in the water and on land as well as showcasing a variety of marine products and services, outdoor gear, fishing tackle, outfitters, brokers, fishing clubs and resource conservation groups. This event is free and open to the public. Food and beverages will be available at the Boat Show Food Court as well as the downtown restaurants. Plans are also underway to nearly double the space afforded the ARTrageous art event held on the waterfront in conjunction with the Arts Council of Carteret County. In addition, on May 19 at Katherine Davis Park, the Morehead City Chapter, Antique Automobile Club of America will hold its 39th annual car show. A traditional hit at the Crystal Coast Boat Show returns with a Pirate Treasure Hunt for children 12 and under. The kids cruise on a ferry boat across the harbor to Sugarloaf Island on both Saturday and Sunday to hunt for treasure with ‘real pirates’. An exciting new feature this year will be an ‘Alive at Five’ style free concert, featuring the Steady Eddies, open to the public that will rock the waterfront at Jaycee Park on Saturday night.
