First Friday is a fun-filled, family-oriented street festival held the first Friday of each month, April through December from 6 to 8 p.m. on the Downtown Manteo Waterfront. The sidewalks pulse with live music, magic, artisans, period-dressed actors, a rockclimbing wall and much more. Tantalizing aromas waft from the kitchen of The Full Moon Café. Many shops and restaurants do individual celebrations inside their establishments, offering their own live music, unique merchandise, special sales and light refreshments.

Make a day of it on Roanoke Island by visiting our attractions and shops, including The Indigo Moon Gallery located adjacent to The Full Moon Café. Enjoy diverse recreational activities for all ages. Then, join
us downtown for our First Friday celebration and a
delicious food and drink experience at The Full Moon Café.

Our First Friday celebrations are a great time to explore downtown Manteo. See you there!
