In October, when the weather is warm, the sun’s shining and the warm ocean breezes are fluttering, bring your lawn chairs and family, leave your hectic world behind and exercise your “license to chill” for two music filled days at the world famous “Pleasure Island Seafood, Blues and Jazz Festival.”

Over a Decade of Seafood, Blues, and Jazz at the Beach

Now entering it’s 16th year, let the music performed by nationally recognized Blues and Jazz performers, coastal cuisine, natural beauty and salt air transport you into another dimension…and into a world where your cares and stresses are left behind. It’s a world where the weather is warmer, the people are friendlier, the food is tastier, and the music is "blue-sier".

Join Us in Kure Beach for Music, Food, Crafts, and More

A weekend of non-stop musical talent, this the Pleasure Island Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival features live jazz and blues performances on two stages. The music can’t be beat and the locally prepared seafood is simply the best in the region.

This two-day festival takes place along the scenic Cape Fear River at the Fort Fisher Military Recreational Area in Kure beach. Enjoy browsing at the Fine Arts Plaza, shopping for crafts, listening to music, and fine wine tasting. Children will stay entertained for hours as they enjoy magicians, juggling acts, clowns and much more in the Kidz Zone.

The Pleasure Island Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival is scheduled each year in the second weekend in October. Contact the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce online or call 910-458-8434 for more information.
