First Friday

 

First Friday is a fun-filled, family-oriented street festival held the first Friday of each month, April through December from 4pm to 8 pm on the Downtown Manteo Waterfront.

The sidewalks pulse with live music, magic, artisans, period-dressed actors, a rockclimbing wall and much more. Tantalizing aromas waft from the kitchens of area restaurants.

Many shops and restaurants do individual celebrations inside their establishments, offering their own live music, unique merchandise, special sales and light refreshments. There is lots to see and do, and you don't want to miss out on any of the fun.

Dare County Arts Council enjoys being a part of this excitement! We host an opening reception every First Friday of the year, from 6pm until 8pm, which celebrates the beginning of each new exhibit in "The Vault." See our Calendar page for a complete listing up upcoming shows.

Stop in to DCAC for a festive evening featuring live music, light fare and libations, and check out great local art.
