Day at the Docks has become one of the best Outer Banks traditions around. Irene Nolan and Lynn Foster have done a great job of capturing the feel of the day in this article in the Island Free Press.

“After last year’s day-long deluge, the organizers of the Day at the Docks on the waterfront in Hatteras village welcomed a warm and breezy late summer day with only occasional clouds interrupting the sunshine.

A crowd estimated at between 1,500 and 2,000 people enjoyed the day, which is a celebration of Hatteras Island watermen and the culture and traditions of the island’s fishing community.”
