• Friday, November 7th - Thursday, November 13th

Through arts, music, and miles of fun, the Outer Banks celebrates visiting and local veterans alike through this special event that has a wealth of ways to stay entertained while discovering the heart of the islands’ cultural scene. OBX Veterans Week is an annual event which honors veterans and their families through live concerts, cool activities and arts in downtown Manteo, and so much more.

The launch for OBX Veterans Week coincides with downtown Manteo’s First Friday event, and visitors will want to head to the downtown area to enjoy a variety of food, drink, shopping, and live music by local bands. The fun continues with a special live concert that is free to veterans and their families at Pamlico Jack’s restaurant with Eclectic Acoustic Bluegrass, and a host of ceremonies, events, and activities for visitors of all ages is also being planned by local organizations, as well as area businesses for a full week of fun. Overlapping with Veterans Day, and presenting a wonderful opportunity to thank the men and women who have served our country, OBX Veterans Week is just a small way that folks on the Outer Banks can show their appreciation of the bravery of these visiting and local heroes.

Corolla Wild Horse Fund

We are The Corolla Wild Horse Fund the non-profit 501 (c) (3) charity responsible for the care and protection of the wild Banker horses roaming the northernmost beaches of the Outer Banks. Join us in the summer season, every Wednesday morning from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at our farm, in Grandy, on the mainland. Please check our website for current Mustang Mornings dates and details. Meet the rescued Banker horses currently in our care on a self-guided walking tour where you can spend time with our staff. Attend a free movie screening of The Secret of Corolla, a 32-minute documentary on the Banker mustangs and the culture and lifestyle of the island. Engage with CWHF’s Director of Herd Management in a Q&A directly after the screening. This is a meaningful way for us to engage with our members and supporters while educating the public on the history and future of the Bankers.
