About the event

Come celebrate fall on island time at the Autumn with Topsail Festival—a three-day sound side tradition that has been bringing art, music, food, and community spirit to Topsail Beach since 1988! Held on the grounds of the Historic Assembly Building, home of the Historical Society of Topsail Island and Missiles & More Museum, this lively festival packs in 100+ regional artists, toe-tapping live music, tasty festival eats, a beer and wine garden, children’s inflatables and crafts, a silent auction, and plenty of coastal charm. Fun fact: it takes more than 300 volunteers each year to make the festival happen—so every bite, beat, booth, and bounce comes with a big helping of community pride!
