On February 28th from 10 am to 5 pm there will be a commemoration of the Battle of Roanoke Island (and also on March 1st from 10 am to 5 pm). There will be over 60 re-enactors of Confederate & Union soldiers. There will be interesting artillery demonstrations, drills, crafts, speed-firing musket demonstration and more!
On March 1st at 2 pm there will also be a showing of Heroes of the Underground Railroad which is produced by Bright Star Children's Theatre of Asheville, NC. It's a 45 minute production which will detail an overview of slavery, the Underground Railroad, and heroes who emerged during this time period. The cast will be available for a meet and greet after the production.
Also during this time period (starting Feb 28th) at Festival Park, the 12th Annual Priceless Pieces Quilt Show will begin. These mini quilts from the Outer Banks and Northeastern NC will display such themes as "bad hair day" and "it's raining cats & dogs." There is fun to be had for all ages this weekend at Roanoke Island Festival Park.
