Dare Days returns to Downtown Manteo this weekend

The Town of Manteo is gearing up for an extravagant two days of live music, vendors, food trucks, festivities, games, and so much more as Dare Days returns for 2023. The event will be held both Saturday, June 3, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, June 4, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Food trucks will be located in the Christmas Tree Parking Lot and the Pioneer Theater parking lot with many delectable options this year including Mr. Buddy (carnival food), the Lions Club, Garden Deli & Pizzeria, Mahi Mahis, Fork et’ Me Not, and all kinds of sweet treats spread throughout. Don’t forget about the great restaurants located in downtown Manteo too!

In addition, Dare County Cooperative Extension will be doing herbal drink demonstrations, along with other fun activities at the Magnolia Market if you need something to quench your thirst. Bathrooms will be located at the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum, boat ramp at the end of Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Magnolia Market, and the Town Common.

The Town will have two tents in the Davis Lot.  The tent at the edge of the street will be a “customer service” tent.  If people have questions, want to share information, etc. they can come to this tent.  The other tent in the lot is where people will be able to purchase Dare Days merchandise.

A full itinerary for the two-day event has been provided below, as well as traffic routes to take note of. For more information, visit www.manteonc.gov/daredays.
