Welcome to the Inaugural Omata–Johnson Legacy Celebration
May 22 - 24, 2026 (Fri-Sun)
(Memorial Day Weekend)
Carolina Beach / Kure Beach, NC
Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of sun, sand, laughter, and family connection at the beach! We are thrilled to welcome you to the Inaugural Omata–Johnson Legacy Celebration, where generations come together to relax, reconnect, and create new memories along the beautiful shores of Carolina and Kure Beach. We are honored to gather for the first time (for the Omata lineage) as a united family to celebrate our shared heritage, our lineage, and the enduring strength that connects us across generations.
From our oceanfront Meet & Greet, to Family Beach Day filled with games, cookout favorites, and friendly competition, to our Farewell Dinner, Dance, and birthday celebrations, this weekend is all about celebrating who we are, where we come from, and the joy of being together.
Expect great food, music, beach fun, meaningful moments, and plenty of time to laugh, reminisce, and make memories that will last long after the sand is gone from our shoes.
This is more than a reunion, it’s the beginning of a tradition. Two Shores, One Legacy. Rooted in legacy, strengthened by unity.
This year's co-masters of the ceremonies will be:
Bo Johnson and Latesha Barrett.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you at the beach!
Please use this website to access the full schedule, event details, and important updates. We look forward to celebrating Two Shores, One Legacy with you and embracing a future strengthened by unity.
Get ready to celebrate! It's been a long time coming.
