Benefiting the BCCC Foundation

Learn more about the Belhaven Trout Tournament & Festival!

The Belhaven Trout Tournament and Festival is planning an exciting two day event to include not only a Fishing Tournament but also a Festival! Our 2-day Festival will include Kids Activities, a Pig Cook off contest and sales, Raffles, Silent and Live Auctions, and Craft and Food Vendors. You name it - we are going to have it! This is all to help raise funds for the Beaufort County College Foundation that will help fund scholorships for students that want to work in Marine Trades; Northside High School students that want to attend the BCCC Boatbuilding School; and the Belhaven Community Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center that is instrumental in promoting local tourism, which in turn helps our local businesses.
