Fourth of July festivities in the Town of Manteo gather children, families, neighbors and visitors together for a full afternoon and evening of entertainment.

The fun begins at 3 p.m. downtown in front of the Dare County Arts Council building with the singing of the National Anthem and presentation of both the United States and North Carolina flags. Kids’ games and activities, Independence Day trivia, decorated bike contest (trike, scooter and wagons also welcome), apple pie contest, food and summer treats are reasons to come celebrate.

The Town of Manteo and Roanoke Island Festival Park will hold an Independence Day concert at the park’s scenic waterfront pavilion.

The concert is free and open to the public. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.

The show kicks off at 5:15 p.m. with 80s cover band The Deloreans, presented by the Town of Manteo.

Following The Deloreans, Roanoke Island Festival Park will host the 82nd Airborne Band & Chorus with a star-spangled salute to our country featuring patriotic music. That concert starts at 7:45 p.m.

The concert concludes with fireworks at dusk provided by the Town of Manteo, illuminating the night sky with vibrant colors and explosive entertainment.
