With purchase of ticket, you will receive a wristband that allows for entry throughout the day and is good for the entirety of the festival. The Meridian restaurant will also be set up with an open table concept so people can come and go as they please and sit wherever, and the patio area will also be open, with a full bar for those who want to

purchase something other than beer. The festival is powered by Meridian, known for their fresh farm-to-table Mediterranean inspired cuisine, high quality scratch-made food, with a relaxed low-key atmosphere, and an open kitchen you can see right into. Meridian Restaurant has also been rated as one of the top ten best restaurants in North Carolina, making it quite an attraction, with a menu that changes daily based on what local farms have readily available. The restaurant also features weekly specials like half-priced wine Wednesdays, and six dollar select martinis on Fridays, making it a super fun spot any day of the week.

The festival is going to be an absolute blast, as the street is going to be shut down just for the event, so make sure to mark your calendars for this coming August 10th in Winston- Salem, as this year’s seafood festival is going to be better than ever.
