You can also boogie down at the 3 stages of live entertainment with authentic beer garden. Be sure to bring the children especially those ages 2-5 who are eligible to participate in the Little Leprechaun Contest. You must pre-register your children ages 2-5.

See you Saturday, March 13th at the Emerald Isle Saint Patrick Festival!

As you can see from the photo above, the Emerald Isle construction crew has commenced the bike path extension starting at Black Skimmer Road and continues to mile maker 17. Soon, Emerald Isle residents and vacationers alike will be biking along this wonderful new bike path!

Before long, the trout will be running, the blues will be swallowing Clark’s spoons and the King Mackerel will be attracting Bogue Inlet fishermen to the end of the pier to cast their lines.

In a matter of weeks the Bogue Inlet fishing pier will reopen beckoning Crystal Coast fishermen back to Emerald Isle to pack the pier!
