NC: Swansboro kicks off 60th annual Mullet Festival

 Crowd downtown

Where do trolley rides, the band Sha Na Na and sledding in 70-degree weather come together? In downtown Swansboro for the 60th annual Mullet Festival.

This year’s theme, Then 2 Now, focuses on the 60th anniversary of the event, which started as a way to celebrate the completion of the bridge connecting Onslow and Carteret counties on N.C. 24 across the White Oak River. When Swansboro residents first celebrated the festival, it was a small fishing town. It has grown significantly since then; however, event director Judy Hailey says the Mullet Festival has kept its small town charm.
