Virginia Dare Nights
Celebrate the 438th Birthday of Virginia Dare! August 18th and August 19th, 2025 The Lost Colony will celebrate Virginia Dare Nights The Roanoke Island Historical Association (RIHA)is proud to announce the annual Virginia Dare Nights on Monday August 18th and Tuesday, August 19th, 2025. Virginia Dare Nights commemorate the 438th anniversary of the birth of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World to colonist Eleanor Dare. The Lost Colony continues its long-celebrated tradition of using real babies during the August 18th and August 19th performances. Being a “Virginia Dare Baby” is a coveted role in the community that many local citizens have had the opportunity of being a part of. For Virginia Dare Nights only, the prop baby swaddled in blankets, is replaced with these special guests. Virginia Dare Nights are generously sponsored by First National Bank.
