Jars of Clay Concert
Grammy award winning Christian rock band Jars of Clay will be performing LIVE at the Waterside Theater on Roanoke Island on Sunday, August 3, 2014.

Every Wednesday this summer is the Faire Days Summer Festival Series presented by Scarborough Faire Shopping Village. This is another great family friendly event that features live music, fun and games, plus tons of great shopping all rolled into one. This is completely FREE and and the music goes on rain or shine. Featured performers include: DJ Magic Mike, Mojo Collins & Triple Vision Band, Tim the Juggler, NC Marionette Theater, and horseback riding.First Fridays in Manteo
You know it's summer when the town of Manteo, NC comes alive on the First Friday night of the month! Stores and boutiques stay open late, live music and artists perform, and the whole town comes alive with entertainers and outdoor booths. There's no charge whatsoever and this is a favorite activity for many vacationers on the Outer Banks! There are more details here.
