4th of July in the Outer Banks

The Outer Banks is the perfect place to celebrate the 4^th of July.  You can celebrate with parades, cook-outs, beach adventures and fabulous food.  

 

These are some of my favorite 4^th of July Activities:

1. Ducks 8^th Annual 4^th of July Parade – The fun starts at 9:00 a.m. on the 4^th of July with music, food and a parade.
2. The Outer Banks Firecracker Freedom 5k and Little Sparkler Stroll – This event will support OBX’s local Veteran’s Association and Operation Wounded Warrior Project.   
3.  OBX Killer Dunes 2 Mile Run/Walk – conquer the toughest 2 miles on the Outer Banks.
4. Head to the Beach – All you need is your chair, some drinks and snacks.
5. Fly a Kite at Jockeys Ridge 
6.  Go to the Faire Day Festival – Live Horse Rides, Juggles, shopping and so much more.
7. Go Fishing – we have lots of piers to choose from as well as open water fishing adventures
8.  Have a picnic – Pack a picnic for the beach or have a cookout 
9.  Explore the Aquarium - Great way to get out of the heat and learn about the ocean. 
10.  The 440^th Army Band with Fireworks – Enjoy a patriotic concert at 8:00 followed by a firework show at 9:30.  Nothing like patriotic music and fireworks to celebrate the holiday.
