Day
at the Docks ... Vendors/Exhibitors
Day
at the
Docks was started to celebrate the "Spirit of Hatteras" when the
village recovered from Hurricane Isabel in 2003. This
September event is
a
confirmation of the strength of community, heritage and living
traditions of the watermen. There are competitions, demonstrations,
entertainment, seafood, children's activities and educational
information. The concluding activity is the Blessing
of the Fleet. The
communities from all over the island gather at the harbor in solemn
prayer for the watermen's safety at sea and their successful catches.... .Learn

July 4th Golf Cart Parade
As
long as there is not enough to do enjoying water sports, the
beaches, barbecuing, and all the other events associated with this
national holiday, the Golf Cart Parade is a must. Anyone can
participate and with a little decorating imagination, the carts sport
themes from patriotic to the ridiculous. The parade is fun
for
participants and viewers alike.
Christmas Parade
The
holidays would not be complete without an old fashion Christmas
parade and Hatteras Village is where you can find one. For
warm,
hometown, holiday spirit, this is an event that no one should
miss. After the parade and as twilight draws nigh, Santa is
transported throughout the village on one of the local fire trucks
wishing holiday cheer to all the local youngsters as well as to those
who are young at heart.
