The festival that has really put Swansboro ‘on the map’ is the Swansboro Mullet Festival held every October while the Mullet are running along the North Carolina coast. Yes, it’s a fish, and a yummy one at that. Once a one-day event, the festival has blossomed into a weekend filled with live music, vendors, family fun and, of course, all the Mullet you care to eat.
Second Weekend in October - Annually
