At the monthly meeting of the Outer Banks Restaurant Association (OBRA) on March 10, OBRA membership voted unanimously to cancel the three group events at The Soundside event site in Nags Head. The three events include Flashback Friday on March 27, the BBQ & Wing Showdown on Saturday March 28, and the Grand Tasting & Bartender’s Bubbly Bash on Sunday March 29.

The decision was made in consultation with the Outer Banks Visitor’s Bureau, sponsor for the event, and primarily based on the uncertainty of adequate attendance to cover the costs associated with hosting events at The Soundside. Refunds will be provided for those ticket purchases for only those three cancelled events.

The remaining forty plus events hosted by individual restaurant members will take place as scheduled. Some of those events are sold out, but many do have tickets remaining, and can all be found at OBXtasteofthebeach.com.
