The Ocracoke Fig Festival will be held Friday, Aug. 2, through Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Berkley Manor barn, across from the Ocracoke Preservation Center, which produces the event.
The festival will feature special guest Sheri Castle, the host of “The Key Ingredient,” an Emmy-winning cooking show from PBS North Carolina that airs across the country.
Castle is also an award-winning professional food writer, recipe developer and cooking teacher known for melding stories, humor and culinary expertise.
Several live music events will highlight the festival along with storytelling, children’s activities and crafts, talks by local fig experts, and vendor booths offering various fig-centric items.
The festival is looking for more volunteer help. Those interested should contact Sundae Horn, coordinator, at 252-921-0283 or ocracokefigfestival@gmail.com.
