Nags Head Festivals Events - 2026 Schedule

Get a head start on the holiday season with this post-Thanksgiving event that offers a world of fun for visitors of all ages. Held at the flagship Kitty Hawk Kites store in Nags Head, this two-day event features amazing shopping, activities, demos and displays, and - of course - a visit by old St. Nick himself to allow kids to get a jump start on their Christmas lists.  

For an Outer Banks celebration that revolves around family fun, and encompasses the best of the Outer Banks' spirit, make plans to catch a good glimpse of the Outer Banks St. Patrick's Day Parade. With moderate temperatures and plenty of southern hospitality, this event can kick-off a fantastic week-long vacation or spring break on the Outer Banks.

The OBX Jeep Mutiny brings Jeep enthusiasts from across the country to the Outer Banks for a high-energy weekend filled with custom vehicles, beach-town fun, and coastal adventure. The popular event has become a favorite gathering for Jeep owners and fans who come to the OBX to show off their rides, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of the Outer Banks community.
