From roaring engines to waterfront wine tastings and a historic milestone celebration, here’s what’s happening this weekend on the Outer Banks.

Outer Banks Bike Week Kicks Off

Starting Saturday, the Outer Banks welcomes riders from all over for Outer Banks Bike Week, a high-energy event that brings a noticeable buzz to the area.

Expect scenic rides along the coast, packed parking lots at local restaurants, and live music filling the evenings. From Corolla down to Hatteras Island, you’ll see bikes lining the roads and gathering at some of your favorite local spots.

If you’re looking for a lively atmosphere, this is the weekend to find it.

A250 Celebration: Life, Liberty & Liftoff Faire

On Saturday, head to Manteo for the A250 “Life, Liberty & Liftoff” Faire, part of the nationwide America 250 celebration.

This family-friendly event brings together local vendors, community groups, and live entertainment in a relaxed waterfront setting. It’s a great way to spend the afternoon exploring Roanoke Island, supporting local businesses, and soaking in the small-town charm that makes the Outer Banks so special.
