During this event, the streets of downtown Manteo will come alive with vendors, street performers and food trucks. Most streets will be closed to vehicles and golf carts on Saturday, April 18, 2026, so parking within the downtown area of Manteo, NC will be extremely limited. Attendees are encouraged to utilize our "Park & Ride" shuttle bus service.

 

A free shuttle bus service will run every five to ten minutes to transport attendees to and from the following off-site parking lots to Queen Elizabeth Avenue in downtown Manteo and to Roanoke Island Festival Park during the Dare A250 Faire.  Please note that pets are not permitted on the shuttle bus.
