About the Festival

Taste of The Beach is an annual celebration of the Outer Banks food scene, bringing together residents and visitors for a full weekend of eating, drinking, and distinctive culinary experiences. OBX Taste of the Beach highlights the skill and imagination of local chefs, restaurateurs, and beverage professionals through special events held at restaurants throughout the Outer Banks.

The program includes chef-led intimate dinners, cocktail pairings, brunches, tastings, and signature competitions, offering experiences for every appetite.

Annual Chowder Competition

A major highlight is the Annual Performance Foodservice Outer Banks Chowder Cook Off. Local restaurants compete for the title of Best Seafood Chowder, cash prizes, and bragging rights. Guests can enjoy unlimited tastings, participate in People’s Choice voting, and take part in a lively community atmosphere. The event sells out every year.

Individual event tickets are on sale now, with availability differing by event. Because many experiences have limited capacity, they traditionally sell out quickly.

Event information, participating restaurants, and ticket details are available at www.obxtasteofthebeach.com. Updates and announcements are also shared through @OBXTasteoftheBeach on social media.
