WILMINGTON — The North Carolina Coastal Federation and Wrightsville Beach Brewery are hosting the Low Country Boil & Brew to celebrate and support a clean, healthy coast.
The event will be Sunday, Sept. 24, from 4-7 p.m. at the brewery. It will feature fresh local seafood, craft beer, live music, games and more.
“Our first annual fundraising event at the Wrightsville Beach Brewery is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the bounty of the coast and the importance of a clean, healthy coast to our residents, visitors and businesses,” said Tracy Skrabal, coastal scientist and manager at the federation’s Wrightsville Beach office.
Wrightsville Beach Brewery, which is a sponsor for the event, has supported the federation in the past, donating 11 percent of its March “give back” beer sales to the organization’s 50 Million Oyster Initiative.
Proceeds from this event will go toward the federation’s clean water projects.
