Ocracoke Earth Weekend Returns April 24–26 for Third Annual Celebration
Ocracoke Island, NC — Ocracoke Earth Weekend, now in its third year, will return to Ocracoke Island April 24-26, bringing together nature, culture, and community for a full weekend of events.
The weekend kicks off on Friday night with a concert by mahaloJazz at Ocracoke Alive's Deepwater Theater.
Saturday and Sunday activities will commence at 11 AM, following the conclusion of the Ocracoke Island Scallywag Races. This year's lineup features something for everyone, including garden tours, bird watching, nature walks, and yoga for those looking to connect with the island's natural surroundings. History and heritage take center stage with a presentation on the raising and restoration of the Ocracoke Lighthouse Keeper's Quarters, as well as a look at the island's storied fishing industry. A presentation on oyster farming will highlight the role of aquaculture in the region's coastal ecosystem.
On Saturday evening, film lovers can catch a screening of DamNation, hosted by Ocracoke's own acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ben Knight.
Additional activities are planned throughout the weekend.
