Fun day ahead in Manteo tomorrow!

It's no secret the amount of American history right here on the Outer Banks. On Saturday, one of our area's biggest celebrations of our country's 250 years will be right here in downtown Manteo, bringing celebration and history together.

"This island was settled by England in 1587 as the first European colony in the new world. It's going to be great to have the faire right here at the birthplace of America," said Geno Seay, co-owner of Lost Colony Tavern.

The patriotic spirit is alive and well in downtown Manteo as local organizers of the Dare A250 Faire are putting the finishing touches on what promises to be an incredible community celebration this Saturday.

Erik Here, Call out to area boaters. They are offering a prize for most patriotic decorated boat on the Manteo waterfront. Guest boats welcome too. This is not a flotilla or parade. Just good looking boats in a good looking marina. FYI- they say Patriotic does not equal political and vessels with political decorations will not be eligible.

Two Celebrations. One Historic Day. Free Tickets Available Now! Dare County invites residents and visitors alike to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration as the nation marks the 250th anniver…
