Enjoy a day of fun on Roanoke Island with live music, food trucks, and a spectacular fireworks show. The downtown Manteo waterfront provides a picturesque setting for the fireworks display, which can be viewed from Roanoke Island Festival Park.
The annual fireworks display is free and open to the public. Parking is available throughout the town on a first-come, first-serve basis, and handicapped spaces are available as well – (until filled, and proper permit is required.) The public is welcome to bring chairs, and blankets to find a seat at Roanoke Island Festival Park, and in the hours leading up to the display, are invited to explore the heart of Manteo, which will be decked out for the festivities including live music during the afternoon by famed local bands including The Crowd and Echoes of Heritage, and the 208th Army Band will play patriotic songs in the evening at the outdoor pavilion at Roanoke Island Festival Park. The rain date is July 5th, and events that correspond with the 4th of July festivities are subject to change.
