Each year chefs from restaurants of Pleasure Island, Monkey Junction and Wilmington gather on Pleasure Island for our famous Chowder Cook-off.

Your job is to bring the family and your appetite, sample to your heart’s content, and vote on the Best Chowder.

Chowder, Live Music, Games for the Kids and More!

In addition to serving up the area's best chowder, this daylong event includes live music  and the Kidz Zone which will have face painting, balloon art, giant inflatable slide and interactive science experiments performed by Mad Science of Coastal Carolina. There will also be fudge, hotdogs, funnel cakes, soft drinks and beer and wine for sale. (No coolers, no pets please!).

So come to the beach for the weekend and spend the day with us at this great party! Call 910-458-8434 or email the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce for more information. Also be sure to check out our Pleasure Island Events Calendar for more fun events at the beach throughout the year.
