Dare Day Festival

Dare Days 2022 is a Town-Sponsored special event showcasing and celebrating our great community, its diverse culture, and rich history over THREE days in THREE ways in THREE different locations to enjoy!

6 PM - 10 PM @ College of the Albemarle (COA) Dare Campus

The main highway into Town is lined with local businesses and is the gateway that greets all who live in and visit our community each and every day.  COA’s beautiful new campus will be the site of various diverse programs offering a quality education.  Grab your lawn chair or fuzzy blanket and spread out on the lawn while enjoying yummy food from local food trucks, jamming out to local bands, and smiling as you watch kids of all ages having lots of BIG fun with all the lively activities throughout the evening.  Follow the sidewalk downtown to continue experiencing the vibrant and lovely Town of Manteo at the First Friday festivities too!
