One last Swanfest Sunday for summer… 🎶🌊

All summer long, the Seaside Arts Council's Swanfest has brought live music, neighbors, friends, visitors and plenty of good times to Olde Town Square—and this Labor Day weekend, there’s one more chance to join the fun!

🎶 closes out the 2026 Swanfest season this Sunday, September 6th at 6:30pm.

Take a look back at a few of our favorite moments from this summer’s Swanfest season. ❤️

And a big thank you to the Seaside Arts Council, the local business community, and the Town of Swansboro for another wonderful season of Swanfest—and for making Sunday nights in downtown Swansboro so much fun all summer long.

See you Sunday!

🌅 Sometimes all it takes to turn an ordinary day into magnificence is a Swansboro sunset and a breeze off the water.

Hop aboard the Lady Swan with Captains Jane & Tim of Lady Swan Boat Tours and watch the sky put on a show. Make an evening of it with a bite and a sip in downtown Swansboro. 🌊✨

Sunset cruises departing from Caspers Marina seven days a week!

Is it too early to start dreaming about a fall getaway? 🍂🎣

We don’t think so.

Cooler days and evenings along the waterfront. Fun shops, bites and sips downtown. Sunrise fishing. Fall festivals and holiday traditions. And plenty of time to simply slow down, relax and enjoy NC's Friendly City by the Sea in Onslow County.

Now’s a great time to start planning your fall or holiday stay in Swansboro. Book one of our unique vacation rentals or make yourself at home at the award-winning Hampton Inn & Suites—and turn a day at the coast into an amazing getaway.

This is what a good day on the water sounds like. 🎣🙌

Turn the sound up for this one! That excitement is the real deal as Nancy Lee Fishing Charters hooks into some impressive Red Drum in the waters around Swansboro.

And the best part? Catch, admire, release — and let them keep growing. 🌊

Who’s ready to get out on the water?

If you know, you know. 😉

Part grocery, part gathering place, and very much a Swansboro kind of stop.

Pop into Front Street Grocery for a few provisions for your stay, grab a cold drink and settle in on the new deck, or meet up with friends before—or after—dinner downtown.

And don't forget the four-legged members of the crew. 🐾 Well-behaved pups are welcome, too.

Out back, wander down to “Joe's Beach” for a waterfront photo op, and if you're around on a Sunday night, stick around for karaoke. 🎤

Sometimes the best places are the ones where you weren't necessarily planning to stay awhile…but do.
