Enjoy one of the most scenic corners of the Outer Banks while joining in the fun of one of the longest-running festivals in Manteo by attending the annual Dare Day Festival. This full-day event is held along the downtown waterfront, and features a wide array of activities and attractions that shine a spotlight on the local Manteo culture. Throughout the day, there will also be a number of events designed for water and OBX lovers of all ages, including the now famous Hogway Speedway Racing Pigs, the locally beloved “Anything that Floats but a Boat” Race, the Raingutter Regatta, a Kids Zone, and the annual competition for the best cake and pie in Dare County with a coveted blue ribbon prize.
The festival will also feature a number of kiddie rides, food and drinks, and evening entertainment courtesy of the North Tower Band at the Boathouse stage – which has a perfect setting along the waterfront boardwalk. With lots of arts, crafts, entertainment, and more throughout the day, the Annual Dare Day Festival is a celebration of everything that makes the Outer Banks outstanding.
