Independence Day in the Town of Manteo

Downtown Manteo

Date: 7/4/2025
Starts: 3:00pm

It is always an exciting time in the Town of Manteo at the Fourth of July Celebrations! The streets downtown are full of children and their families, neighbors and visitors alike joining in the festivities celebrating Independence Day.

The fun begins downtown in front of the Dare Arts building, the old courthouse, with the singing of the National Anthem. Kid's games and activities, decorated bike contest and parade (trike, scooter, and wagons welcome too), apple pie contest, watermelon eating contest, food, and summer treats are more than enough reason to come on out and spend time with family, friends, and neighbors. Enjoy summer skies and apple pies, decorated bikes and little tikes!

This past year, an Independence Day concert was held at Roanoke Island Festival Park at their scenic waterfront Pavilion! The concert was free and open to the public. This great music event kicked off with the Appalachian Road Show followed by Whiskey Rebellion. The concert concluded with fireworks at dusk provided by the Town of Manteo, complete with lots of twinkle and sparkle illuminating the night sky with vibrant colors and explosive entertainment!
