Join us for the new, expanded, reimagined Taste of Core Sound. The Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center in Harker’s Island hosts two annual events each year, one in the summer and one in the winter. Each event features a savory local seafood dinner that celebrates Core Sound food traditions cooked by Down East volunteers, in addition to a silent auction, music and entertainment.
Come and enjoy the delicious food, great company and wonderful atmosphere!
