This Week on the Outer Banks | November 27 - December 4, 2020
November 27th - December 4th, 2020
The week of Thanksgiving is such a popular time for visitors to come to the Outer Banks to celebrate the holidays. This year, with smaller occupancy festivities, there were a lot of people who came to the Outer Banks and celebrated with their families.
Events are seeming to be on a decline as we head into the colder months, but there are still a few local spots open this weekend for visitors. Shop small this weekend at local shops around the Outer Banks.
Visitors and residents are still encouraged to WEAR a face covering, WAIT in line at least six feet away from others, and WASH or sanitize hands frequently.

North Carolina will remain on pause in Phase 3 as health officials monitor trends in COVID-19 cases. Read our blog for details about Phase 3 and how it affects weddings on the Outer Banks.
The Outer Banks Wedding Association has been hosting We Do! Sessions with our vendors here on the Outer Banks. Different creative vendors teach us how to do something and we ask them follower submitted questions. Check them out on our Instagram TV Channel @obxwa
