Welcome to the Pamlico County Croaker Festival, hosted by
the wonderful folks in the Town of Oriental.
This is the 28th year of our festival and
this year we are celebrating with Croaker Doodle
Dandy ! The people of Pamlico County welcome
you!
On July 4th,
1980 the Oriental Women’s Club put on the three-day
event complete with a fishing contest. It was done
in the spirit of benefiting the Pamlico
County non-profits. Through the years, it has
ebbed and flowed with each group of volunteers that
have worked to put it together, but the purpose has
remained the same: We do the work to put on a
wonderful festival to benefit the non-profits in
Pamlico County, while providing an event where
families can come and enjoy it together.
We encourage you to support our advertisers, thank our
waterfront home owners, and shake the hand of all
the volunteers from those who put the festival
together to those who are working in the booths and
participate in the parade.
The festival would like to thank those special donors
who give without recognition. All of these wonderful
people work hard for months to make sure that
everyone has plenty of food, fun, music, and a
fireworks show that’s the best around.
We hope you didn't, but if you missed the 2007 parade (or if you want to see it again, or if you
were in it and couldn't see it), you can view the 2007 Croaker Festival - Calypso
Croaker Parade online at the
Croaker Festival Virtual Parade!
