Second Annual Sip & Shuck Fundraiser
2026-03-15 16:00 - 19:00 | The Alley, 1605 Queen St., Wilmington, NC, 28401
Click here for tickets!
Join us for bivalves and brews during our second annual Sip & Shuck! Our hit oyster roast fundraiser is back on Sunday, March 15th from 4-7 p.m. at The Alley at The Cargo District in Wilmington. We have kindly been gifted another 1,500 oysters raised with care by the UNCW Shellfish Hatchery to share with you. Eat good and feel great knowing that, just like an oyster, you are helping protect and improve the water quality of the Cape Fear River.
Each $75 ticket gets you 20 oysters cooked by your Cape Fear Riverkeeper Kemp Burdette, two locally-crafted beers (with four pours to choose from) by Mad Mole Brewing and The Alley, and live music courtesy of The Noseeums. Tickets are limited—and this sold out fast last year—so reserve your spot at the shucking table today!
Dinner is available at Salita Pizza, right in The Alley, plus other tasty Cargo District offerings.
This event is generously supported by the Crafted Outpost and The Alley!

Come explore Greenfield Lake “after hours” as we embark on a golden hour guided tour by paddleboat in celebration of Cape Fear Creek Week. We will wind through a secluded cove, offering sightings of cypresses, fish, reptiles, and roosting birds. Along the way, we will learn about algal blooms, spillways, and watersheds—and how protecting the water quality of this hidden urban gem helps protect the Cape Fear River Basin as a whole.
One registration per paddleboat, please list all passengers (including the registrant) in your registration. Each paddleboat fits up-to four people. Limited boats available–secure your spot early!
We will meet at the Greenfield Lake Boathouse no later than 5:15, to hit the water by 5:30. Parking is available at 1739 Burnett Blvd., Wilmington, NC 28401.
Greenfield Lake Boathouse is run in support of Cape Fear River Watch.
