November Outer Banks Events

The main event for the Outer Banks in the month of November is the annual Outer Banks Marathon which will be held on November 14th. This is the 5th year of this event which benefits the Outer Banks Relief Foundation and the Dare Education Foundation--returning all monies to our community. The marathon organizers also have a Fun Run scheduled for the 13th of November as well which is great for families. Find out info (they are still looking for volunteers) here.


Also on the 13th of November, at Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo, there will be a Jewelry Expo from 9 am til 5 pm. Visitors will be able to view how various jewelry is made by local makers and there will be items for sale as well. Find out more information here.

On November 27th Kitty Hawk Kites will illuminate the sky with lit stunt kites on the dunes of Jockey's Ridge to the music of holiday songs. Kites generally go up in the air about 4 pm and when the sun goes down the fun begins. Find out more information here.
