The 18th Annual Currituck Wildlife Festival is a two-day show that features some of the region’s most talented and well-known wildlife artists. Vendors at this years’ event will include decoy carvers, sculptors, painters, photographers and more. The show will be held at the Currituck County High School in Barco, North Carolina from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday (Sept 7) and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday (Sept 8).

Historically Currituck County has been identified as the perfect rest stop for migratory waterfowl, earning the Algonquin name “Coratank” meaning “where the wild geese fly”. Sportsmen from all over began coming to the area for hunting in the 1800s, creating a market for wildlife art.
