We all love our pets but with 10,000 people expected, multiple restaurants serving food, vendors, entertainment and flying fish; the Outer Banks Seafood Festival is no place for animals. Keep them safe, keep them home. No pets will be allowed on festival grounds except for service animals with current paperwork.

Outside coolers are not allowed at this event. A variety of food and drink will be offered on site.

Blankets, towels and chairs are encouraged for use in the viewing area of the music stage.
