October in North Carolina is probably the most beautiful time of the year, especially in Manteo in the Outer Banks, offering colorful leaves, exciting activities, and the Outer Banks Bluegrass Island Festival. Celebrating the season with live music, LOTS of live music, the festival is held over 3 days in the middle of the month. Spend your days and evenings listening to many of the top bluegrass bands in the nation, and when the last note is played, the crowds begin to disperse, you can smile to yourself knowing that you will be heading home to Pirate’s Cove Realty for a night of comfort and relaxation.
Held at Roanoke Island Festival Park
The gates open at 12:30 each day, and the performers begin to play at 8 pm on what we think is one of the most beautiful outdoor stages in the world. This stage sits against the water, and unlike most outdoor amphitheaters, the views of the bay can be seen through large windows that stretch dozens of feet into the sky. Are the views a distraction from the music? Of course not, they simply provide and enhance the ambience of this outdoor concert experience, making attendees forget real life and that the real world exists beyond the panes.
Dining, Drinking, and a Little Shopping
The music is the main attraction, but man can not live on music alone, and of course, there will be food and drink vendors, including beer, wine, and dessert vendors, to ensure that you don’t get peckish or dehydrated during your festival experience. Also offering a large number of merchandise vendors, guests can purchase festival souvenirs, local art, and other gifts to bring home as remembrances of their time at the best Outer Banks music festival!
VIP Tickets
As you might have expected, there are also VIP tickets on sale, and although the General Admission ones are perfectly fine, the extras included with a VIP ticket might encourage you to pay the extra price. Offering early park entry, a VIP backstage lounge that offers views of both the stage and the water, complimentary donuts, bagels, muffins, and coffee each morning, as well as appetizers served throughout the day, and a lunch buffet with barbecue and seafood. Swag bags are a benefit that every ticket holder will receive, each including a festival hat, tee, pint glass, and tote. Also providing a 2-hour lunch buffet cruise, the chance to meet the bands, and reserved seating at the late-night jams, the VIP tickets really do pay for themselves.
So Quiet, So Peaceful, So Comfortable
The Outer Banks Bluegrass Island Festival is going to be exciting and fun, but when the music stops for the night, you will probably be ready for a little peace and quiet, and coming home to your Pirate’s Cove Realty fall retreat will bring you both. The peace and quiet will be a balm to ears that have been listening at full volume for about 10 hours out of each day, and the comfort will ensure that your sleep is a deep one, and you will awaken the next day ready for a new day of music, food, and fun. Reserve your favorite retreat today!
