We are heartbroken to hear of the festival cancellations this weekend due to weather, but we’re keeping the party going here in Manteo! The Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival is one of our favourite annual events, which brings people together from all over the world to celebrate mountain music by the sea. We look forward to seeing what’s in store for 2027!

If you’re still in town and looking to do something fun this evening, join us at Lost Colony Tavern for a cozy British meal, a cold pint of ale, and four fun rounds of MUSIC BINGO with Greg Smrdel tonight at 6:30! Also, the Halloween Island charity bar crawl continues tonight through over a dozen uniquely themed Halloween bars throughout town! Help us put the “fun” in “fundraising” with an exciting night of trick-or-treating…for adults!
