That would be the 4th of July, of course. It's the busiest day on the island. This year, as in years past, Independence Day will be full of festivities, including:
- flag raising at the school
- skydiving demonstration by "The Herd"
- Blackbeard presentation by Ben Cherry
- sand sculpture contest
- old-time parade
- fireworks
I'll get better details (times, etc.) and post them here soon. For now, this is as good a time as any to remind everyone that, because of the risk of fire (which could easily spread in our small village), individual fireworks are ILLEGAL anywhere on Ocracoke (both the village and the beach). So if you are planning to be here celebrating America's birthday, please plan to enjoy the professional fireworks, but leave your own fireworks at home.
