Welcome to NC Potato Festival 2009…Now in its 9th consecutive year, the NC Potato Festival in downtown Elizabeth City, NC promises to be bigger than ever. The downtown streets will be overflowing with live entertainment, tournaments, street fair vendors, and food vendors. The waterfront will come alive with The NC Governor's Cup Moth Boat Race, "Power Boat History Comes Alive", Vintage with Inboard and Outboard, and the Lucky Duck Derby Fundraiser. All this excitement happening downtown will attract 1000s of festival-goers to the revitalized beauty of downtown historic Elizabeth City and its waterfront.

North Carolina Potato Festival is brought to you by Elizabeth City Downtown, Inc. - A Revitalization Corporation, a private 501(c) (3) nonprofit established in 1988 to stimulate and coordinate the revitalization of the downtown and redevelopment of the waterfront within the context of historic preservation. Over the past 25 years, due to an aggressive revitalization program with creative strategies, the heart of this historic city is now a major attraction.
Elizabeth City Downtown, Inc. produces North Carolina Potato Festival in cooperation with the City of Elizabeth City and Pasquotank County which has made it possible to expand throughout the downtown and along the waterfront. The City and County recognizes and supports the festival for its economic, social, and artistic contributions to the community. Festival funding is made possible through corporate and business sponsorships and concession fees. Festival proceeds are used to help build a better downtown.
