Feast Wilmington

The festival typically features three signature events: Craft + Cuisine, which pairs local chefs with breweries for unique food-and-beer experiences; the Pier Party, an evening celebration of coastal cuisine, cocktails, wine, and live music along the riverfront; and Brunch Elevated, a Sunday gathering featuring creative brunch dishes, specialty coffee, Bloody Mary and mimosa bars, and handcrafted beverages. Guests can sample a wide range of offerings while interacting with chefs, brewers, mixologists, and other culinary professionals from across the region.

Founded in 2024, Feast Wilmington has quickly become one of the region’s signature food festivals, drawing visitors from across North Carolina and beyond. The event celebrates local restaurants, producers, and beverage makers while providing an immersive experience that blends food, drink, music, and community. By showcasing the best of Wilmington’s culinary scene in a waterfront setting, Feast offers attendees an opportunity to discover new flavors, support local businesses, and experience the unique character of the Cape Fear region.
