Christmas In Manteo

The holiday season shines bright in Downtown Manteo during Christmas in Manteo, a month-long celebration filled with small-town charm, coastal cheer, and timeless traditions. From shopping local to gathering under the glow of twinkling lights, the season offers something special for everyone.

Merry Market 

November 21, 2025

Step into the holiday spirit at the Town of Manteo’s Merry Market on Friday, November 21, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at George Washington Creef Park. Browse festive local vendors, sip on hot cocoa, enjoy cheerful music, and spread kindness by supporting the Manteo Police Department’s Food & Coat Drive. A cozy kick-off to the holiday season on the waterfront!

Tree Lighting & Christmas Parade 

December 5 & 6, 2025 

The magic continues in December with two of Manteo’s most beloved traditions: the Tree Lighting on December 5 and the Christmas Parade on December 6.

Festivities begin Friday afternoon with kids’ activities at Magnolia Pavilion from 4:00–6:00 PM, leading into the Tree Lighting celebration from 6:00–8:00 PM. The official program begins at 7:00 PM, followed by photos with Santa at the Waterfront Trellis and ornament decorating at Dare Arts from 7:00–8:30 PM. Enjoy the glow of the season as the community gathers to light the town tree, filling the waterfront with music, laughter, and holiday wonder.

On Saturday, the celebration continues as the Christmas Parade steps off at 10:30 AM, bringing a cheerful procession of floats, marching bands, and local groups through Downtown.

Free golf cart shuttles will be running during both events, and parking is available at College of The Albemarle – Dare Campus and Manteo Elementary School, making it easy for everyone to join in the fun.

New Year's Eve Celebration 

December 31, 2025

Ring in 2026 on the Manteo Waterfront! Enjoy live music, food vendors, family fun, and a dazzling fireworks show at 8:00 PM to light up the night sky. Celebrate the new year, small-town style—where community and coastal charm come together.

Brought to you with holiday cheer and support from the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau.
