Head to the center of bluegrass on Roanoke Island for this free summertime concert that will have visitors tapping their toes and rocking on the porch in time to the music. The Pickin' on the Porch series is a weekly summertime concert that’s held at the Bluegrass Island Trading Co., and which is sure to make any newcomer to the bluegrass genre a fan of this southern style of music.

On June 30, the acclaimed group the Forlorn Strangers will take to the stage, (or rather, the porch), and will thrill the crowd with their harmonies and their inherently catchy and soulful style. Visitors are welcome to bring along their beach chairs, picnic blankets, and other outdoor seating to find a comfy spot on the surrounding lawn, relax, and enjoy the show. The concert is free to all visitors, and is held in the heart of downtown Manteo along Budlegih Street, which is the perfect venue for indulging in a little relaxation that’s just a shell’s throw away from the waterfront. With a talented group providing the tunes, and a gorgeous setting that highlights the beauty of Roanoke Island, this live concert on the porch is sure to be wonderful outing for Outer Banks lovers and music fans.
