Discover lots of great holiday celebrations and festivities taking place

North Carolina’s Crystal Coast embraces the holiday festivities the same way it does summer! Fall and winter allow many visitors and locals to carry out the same family traditions celebrated at home. But wait, there’s more! A holiday getaway to Emerald Isle is the perfect backdrop for any memorable winter vacation. With fewer crowds and small-town holiday decorations, you and your family will easily embrace the coast with a bit more cheer. Here’s a glimpse at a few jolly festivals taking place this holiday season.

Celebrate the spirit of the season in Harker’s Island. The Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center is hosting the third annual Gallery of Trees this year. This festive attraction allows local families and organizations to share their coastal stories through beautiful handmade decorations on crab pot trees on display throughout the museum. Be sure to look closely; Emerald Isle Realty will be decorating our own tree for this annual event! The Gallery of Trees will be displayed from November 18 through the first week of January.

Kick off the holidays with the Swansboro Christmas Flotilla on November 25! Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, visitors and locals gather at Swansboro’s scenic waterfront and watch the twinkling parade of lights down the White Oak River. Seasonal music, hot chocolate, and a bit of magic to the event, and you might even catch a glimpse of Saint Nick!

On Saturday, November 26, attend the annual Emerald Isle Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting. This holiday event is another fun way to ring in the Christmas season. The parade is held in the heart of town and features a line of floats that capture both the seasonal and coastal spirit.

Over in the historic town of Beaufort, the waterfront community is known for giving it their all during the holiday season. Nothing compares to the spirit of a tight-knit community, and the holiday scenes beg for your adoration. Experience an illuminated look at the town’s historic homes with the annual Christmas Candlelight Tour. The Beaufort Historical Association hosts the annual event taking place on December 10th. It’s an experience you and your family will want to experience year after year. Ride through the neighborhoods on a double-decker bus with local carolers. You get a rare glimpse into historic homes, inns and churches, all elegantly decorated for the season.

These are just a few festivals held on the Crystal Coast. Be sure to visit Emerald Isle Realty’s events page for other celebrations and events held throughout the year.

 

Find plenty of ways to relax and unwind

Getaways during the off-season should be filled with fresh ocean air and sand between your toes. The beaches are spacious with fewer crowds and the views are beautiful throughout the island. With a less-busy coastline, you and your family can get more than your fair share of paradise.

While temperatures are a bit cooler, the weather tends to remain mild throughout the fall and winter months, allowing guests to still get out and enjoy some of their favorite coastal activities. Escape the teeth-chattering cold or unrelenting heat and enjoy the peaceful, uncrowded beaches of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. There’s nothing like waking up early and walking down the empty beach with a warm cup of coffee in hand. The sound of crashing waves is enough to put your soul at ease for the remainder of the year and beyond.

Be sure to catch a sunrise along the coast with a warm cup of coffee. These are equally impressive and make starting the day sooner much worth it. Emerald Isle is wonderful from sunrise to sunset any time of year but add some cheer and you have yourself a new family tradition for years to come!
