Outer Banks Events

More Than Just the Beach!

Outer Banks events are like no other! Of course, you come to the Outer Banks for fun and sun, but what about other things to do? During the summer and fall seasons, there are plenty of Outer Banks events that will add to your vacation fun. From seafood festivals and stunt flying kites to summer carnivals complete with rides and cotton candy; the Outer Banks has it all! In Nags Head, you can find weekly farmers market pop-ups during the summer and fall, and in Corolla, you’ll find fun weekly events at the Whalehead Club! In Hatteras, you’ll find fishing tournaments and windsurfing competitions that’ll get your adrenaline pumping.

When you’ve spent enough time relaxing at the beach or hanging by the pool at your OBX vacation rental, get out and explore everything the Outer Banks has to offer! Part of the beauty of vacationing on the Outer Banks is that there’s so much more to do than hit the beach or go to the pool. Check our events page regularly to see what’s going on around town. There may even be a few Outer Banks events happening near you! Who knows, you might find a yearly recurring event that you’ll be able to plan
