Come to Dowdy Park for the annual Tree Lighting! Celebrate the start of the holiday season with festive lights, community cheer, and a special visit from Santa. Bring your family and friends for an evening of holiday magic at the park.
The 13th Annual Outer Banks Entrepreneurs Holiday Bazaar is on November 29 from 9 am - 4 pm at the Comfort Inn, Nags Head, NC. This festive shopping event is one of the most anticipated markets of the season, drawing shoppers from near and far who are ready to find unique gifts, handmade treasures, and products they can’t find anywhere else.
In celebration of the upcoming 150th anniversary of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse (December 1, 1875 – 2025), the Outer Banks Conservationists and The Northern Outer Banks proudly present Joseph Smith, a New York–based living history performer, in two special performances of his one-man play, Augustin Fresnel: Through a New Lens.
Through drama and storytelling, Mr. Smith brings to life Augustin Fresnel (1788 – 1827)—the French physicist and civil engineer whose invention of the Fresnel lens transformed maritime navigation by dramatically extending the brightness and range of lighthouses around the world. The original first-order Fresnel lens, installed in the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in 1875, remains one of the last of its kind and is still an active aid to navigation. Both performances will take place at the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education in Corolla. Admission is free, and donations supporting another 150 years of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse are welcome.
Come spread the holiday cheer with Kitty Hawk Kites and a kite light show on Jockey’s Ridge! It's FREE and open to the public.
Be sure to make it out on Saturday, November 29th from 4 – 7 PM for a light display like no other. Kites with Lights, at Jockey’s Ridge State Park, features large 19-to-30-foot kites decked out in the spirit of the holiday season!
At 5 PM, enjoy the lighting of the Jockey’s Ridge State Park Solar Christmas tree out on the dunes directly across from Jockey’s Ridge Crossing. Warm beverages are available across the street at Jockey’s Ridge Crossing. All donations benefit the Friends of Jockey’s Ridge.
