• Friday, May 3rd - Saturday, May 4th

Automobile enthusiasts can meet and greet with fellow aficionados while exploring some of the most stunning coastlines that North Carolina has to offer at this two-day festival that features a wide array of ways to have fun. The OBX Rod And Custom Festival is a special celebration of vintage and antique cars that will boast a host of family-friendly activities, from local food, to cruise-ins, to displays that will impress car fans of all tastes and ages.

The event has a long roster of activities lined up during its weekend-long celebration, including cruise-ins, static displays of vintage vehicles, special events, games aimed towards adults and kids alike, and ample food to chow down in between the action. In addition, attendees can bring along their own automobile treasures, and can enjoy a lengthy exploration of multiple historic sites that are dotted throughout the Outer Banks. Based in Kill Devil Hills, the OBX Rod And Custom Festival has the happy distinction of being close to a wide range of scenic roadways and destinations, from the northern beaches of Corolla to the pristine shorelines of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. As such, all attendees will really need to do to have fun is to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Established in 1948 by Walter and Stelle Gray, Gray’s began as a single store on the beach road in Nags Head, a land mark that has been beautifully transformed into Seagreen Art Gallery. Visitors to the original Gray’s may remember that the family home was located above the store and that Walter Gray had a passion for Big Band music that was often playing on the store speakers, giving shoppers a little swing in their step.

 

Modern-day Gray’s is still family owned and operated by their children Ronnie and Julie Gray, who carry on a legacy of superior customer service and traditional values. Ronnie’s wife Susan is also an important part of the business. “It really was always a family operating as a business rather than a business being run by a family,” explains Ronnie Gray. “When our visitors come in, they are greeted by a warm hello and a ‘Welcome to Gray’s.’ We try to welcome them as if they’re entering our own home”
