Morehead City, North Carolina is on the central coast half way between
Virginia and South Carolina or between Maine and the Florida Keys. The
area hosts 65 marinas, 24 boat builders, and more than 300 hundred marine-related
businesses.
The downtown MHC waterfront is one of only two designated urban waterfronts
in North Carolina, and serves as an urban center for shopping, dining,
fishing, diving, the arts and entertainment. Its location on the Intracoastal
Waterway with a deep water channel and a state port makes MHC an ideal
way point for voyagers.
The MHC waterfront provides ready access to more than 100 businesses
in the downtown area involved with waterfront tourism and fishing, including
fine restaurants, franchised dealers and independent accessory shops,
repair facilities, charter fishing boats, tour excursion boats, and kayak
rentals tours for over 250 mapped miles of kayak trails in the area.
In 2002, MHC, with the assistance of the Clean Water Management Trust
Fund, purchased Sugarloaf Island, a 47-acre nature preserve directly
across from the waterfront.
Exhibit space ranges in price from $350 for a boat slip to $100 for on-shore
booth space.
Sponsor packages range from $150 to $1500
