The October 17, 2026 event will not take place.
Due to the approaching coastal storm and a statement from Dare County Emergency Management, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s festival with the safety of our vendors and guests in mind.
All ticket purchases, vendor commitments and sponsorships will be honored at the 2027 festival. The date will be announced soon.
