Independence Day

We hope you can join us tomorrow for our Ocracoke Independence Day celebrations. Last year Hurricane Arthur swept across the Outer Banks, and most of our events were canceled. Here are several photos from the 2013 July 4th parade. Click on the link below for a complete schedule of this year's events.
