There are many reasons to justify a visit to the Outer Banks
in September. The prices of the vacation houses drop and you can find great
deals, you won’t be caught in traffic, and there are hardly any crowds of
tourists on the island. But if you think that there is nothing going on during
this time, you have mistaken. There are many great events and activities you
can still do with your family while on your Outer Banksvacations. The following are the
top 5 are a few events that we recommend attending:
August 29 through
September 2–Wave Riding Vehicles Outer Banks Pro Presented by Hurley will
be returning to Jeanette’s Pier in Nags Head. This surf competition is a part
of the Western Atlantic Surf Series and has a total purse of $30,000 in prize
money. Admission for the public is free.
September 1 – If you are a fan of American Idol, then the Concert
in Manteo is for you. Not only is Scotty McCreery the youngest male to ever win
American Idol but he also won the New Artist of the Year in 2011 at the American
Country Awards and the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards. He is even in the
Guinness World Records book for being the youngest male to ever get a No. 1
album on the all-genre chart with a debut release. You and your family will not
want to miss out on seeing him perform. Tickets for the concert, which is held
at the outdoor pavilion at Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo, are $25 for
advance tickets and $30 for the day of show.
September 4 -5 -OBX
Arts and Crafts Festival will be held in Kitty Hawk at the Hilton Garden Inn. If
you are a creative person, then attending this event on your Outer Banks vacations is a must for you. This event
features creative works from glasswork and metalwork to pottery and paintings
to handmade soap and jewelry. A portion on the proceeds will go to the Network
for Endangered Sea Turtles and the Hosea House, which are local charities.
Admission and parking are free.
September 14–Outer Banks Bootcamps presents the 4th
Annual “All Out Pink” Road Race. This race gives you two courses to choose
from. One is the 12K bridge run and the other is the 5K run. Every penny of the
event goes toward providing local women with mammograms and gives men access to
health care. The race admission is $35 to participate in either race. If you
are participating in the race you will also be given a t-shirt, access to the
post-race garden party, chip timing and a finisher medal. If you would like to
attend as a spectator, admission is $15 for children 13 and up.
September 15 – 21–The 46th Annual Eastern Surfing
Association (ESA) Eastern Surfing Championship will be held at Jeanette’s Pier.
This surfing association has been around from 1967, and has been responsible
for debuting some well-known surfers. The ESA originally started to protect the
sport of surfing along the East Coast and grew into an association with a
current membership of 10,000 surfers. Admission to the public is free.
If attending events isn’t your thing, there is also fishing
at the Pier, going to Corolla to see the wild horses and relaxing at the beach.
Beach time in September is perfect time of year to enjoy. The weather cools off
some and the water gets warmer.
