Fourth of July Parade in Duck, NCis a traditional favorite and an event not to miss! It's been acclaimed as one of the best small town celebrations in the country and I can see why! The route follows Scarborough Lane towards the ocean, turns left onto Ocean Way, and then heads down Christopher Drive ending back at Duck Road (NC 12). If you are attending the parade next year, please arrive early so you can get a good spot on the parade route. Remember, no part of the parade is on Duck Road (Highway 12), and parking in Town is at a premium, so please plan to walk or ride your bicycle and be in Town well in advance of the parade start time of 9:00 a.m. For more information check out our
Duck Parade photos and
The Town of Duck's website. Immediately following the parade will be a concert held at the Town Green, featuring music from JustPlayn' Dixieland and refreshments!

July 4, 2015 on the Avalon Pier, these Independence Day fireworks were once absent inKill Devil Hills. In 2009,there was a terrible fireworks accident that occurred on OcracokeIsland which prompted statewide regulation changes and a hault to some of the most popular firework shows on the Outer Banks.The show is now back on and isa great addition to the 4th of July on the Outer Banks. It also relieves congestion for some of the other displays. This show isalso beingput on by the world-renowned pyrotechnic masters of ZambelliFireworks(a New Castle, PA company - shout out!). The Kill Devil Hills fireworks are a great option for anyone staying in theKDH or Kitty Hawk areas. You can hop right onto the beach and get a great view of the show.
