Outer Banks Holiday Celebrations

Now that fall has arrived, the summer tourists have abandoned our paradise until next year. If you will be spending time in the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving and Christmas, you are among the lucky. You will enjoy fewer crowds and some holiday activities to entertain the whole family. With all the festivals and events happening, I have focused on a few that you should not miss.

Tree Lighting Ceremony

Tentative – December 8th - Evening

The town of Manteo is hosting a tree lighting ceremony in front of the old historic courthouse. This-400 year-old tradition is sure to invoke the spirit with joy and celebration. This festival will be full of dramatic music and cheer. Bring the whole family to share the festivities. Visit the town’s official website for more information on the Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Theater

November 30 - December 2
Peter Pan

For this Holiday season the Theater of Dare, the community theater of the Outer Banks, presents Peter Pan. Enjoy the classic adventures of the boy who never wanted to grow up and the Darling children as they battle pirates and Indians. Tickets are $13 in advance, $15 at the door and $8 for Students. For more information please visit www.TheatreofDare.org or call (252) 261-4064.

Events

Bring your family and friends to Jockey’s Ridge State Park and Jockey’s Ridge Crossing for Kitty Hawk Kites Hangin’ with Santa. Children can have their photo taken with Santa in a full scale, demonstration hang glider. The photos are free while they last, but you will also be able to take your own. This will be set up at Kitty Hawk Kites in Nags Head.

Kites with Lights

After your turn with Santa, watch skilled kite flyers transform the night with lighted kites. Witness how they maneuver their stunt kites to some of your favorite music.
