Crystal Coast Countdown 2013: Five Days of New Year's Countdown Celebrations

We know you'll be busy in these upcoming days preparing for the weekend and next week's holidays, but we wanted to share with you some exciting things going on here on the Crystal Coast as we lead into the New Year of 2013. We hope you plan on spending some time with us in vacationing in Emerald Isle and enjoying the surround Crystal Coast area. 

Crystal Coast Countdown 2013
The Crystal Coast Countdown is in its second year of bringing communities together and celebrating the start of the new calendar year. This year's event runs from Friday, December 28 through Tuesday, January 1. 

The Crystal Coast Countdown packs a ton of family-friendly fun and spreads it throughout our Crystal Coast towns including Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, Beaufort, Pine Knoll Shores, and Newport. There are a variety of venues and activities ranging from indoor to outdoor, day and evening events, and a wide array of things planned to suit every age and interest.

The Crystal Coast Countdown schedule of events contains so much, we can't possibly cover it all here. We can assure you that you'll find a nice mix of cultural and artistic offerings including musicians, storytellers, scavenger hunts, dance groups, tours, artists, and so much more. 

Other popular events include Morehead City Port tours, Bonfire at the Beach, Reggae concert, Resolution (5K) Run, Children's Celebration Fun Station, New Year's Eve Scramble Golf Tournament, Pirate Plunge, Crab Pot Drop, Battle of the Sands sandsculpture contest, and the famed annual Penguin Plunge. Also, don't forget about the fireworks! Where else can you bring in the New Year like like this? No where!

It's also a good idea to get a Dis-Countdown Card that offers some amazing discounts throughout the rest of December at participating local merchants. Dis-Countdown Cards are only $5 and can be purchased at these local retailers.
