Now celebrating its 47th year, the Wright Kite Festival is a celebration of aviation that takes place where flight began – the Wright Brothers Memorial. Walk through the sprawling grounds of the museum and gain a little knowledge of the birthplace of aviation and then put this knowledge to the test outside with Kitty Hawk Kites. Large kites will be on display throughout the weekend, joining in the sky with the Wright Memorial!
First proclaimed on August 19, 1939, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, National Aviation Day is a celebration of Orville Wright’s birth date, and is a fun-filled event at the Wright Brothers National Memorial that visitors of all ages will enjoy.
Enjoy an uplifting experience at the exact location where aviation was born at the annual Celebration of the Wright Brothers First Flight at the impossible-to-miss Wright Brothers Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. This day-long celebration honors the birthplace of flight, with a commemoration that coincides with the precise time that the first successful launch took place, and a wealth of activities throughout the day that will delight aviation fans of all ages.

A keyless lock entry means you can enjoy your vacation immediately without retrieving house keys from the rental agency. Free, reliable wifi is included. Just For Fun offers “ribbon” views of the ocean from the family room and decks from one of the highest points in Duck—race to the beach – a 4-minute walk – to dig your feet in the warm sand. ‘Just for Fun’ comes equipped with boogie boards, skimboards, a wagon to haul stuff, and bikes and helmets to ride to Schooner Ridge’s private beach access (where you’ll find a beachside pool and showers). After riding waves and building sand castles all day, come home to sit in the front porch swing, lay in the hammock, and watch the kids play basketball out front. Or swim and splash out back in the 18’ x 28’ private saltwater pool, use the pool-side bathhouse and shower, swing under the pool-side gazebo, and relax in the large hot tub under the star-filled sky. Grill up steaks and fresh seafood on the gas grill on the pool deck. Enjoy the sun and sand while you find everything your family needs in kids-oriented Schooner Ridge. 100 yards and you’re at the Schooner Ridge community center, where you’ll find a new playground, tennis courts, an outdoor pool, and a separate baby pool – on the off-chance you catch a rainy day, the kids can splash in a heated indoor pool, play handball in the racquetball courts, or use the game room, and adults can enjoy the gym. Quaint shops and restaurants in Duck Village await you – a five-minute walk. In Duck, you can find such treats as Sunset Ice-Cream, Big Bucks Ice Cream, the kayak launch, crabbing docks, free concerts, puppet shows, and yoga/exercise classes at the amphitheater – all on the sound-side boardwalk that spans Duck Village. In nearby Scarborough Lane and Scarborough Faire, you will find shops, coffee, and the Island Bookshop for a great beach read. Head north 20 minutes to Corolla for go-karts, bumper cars, mini-golf, beach shops, and other fun activities for the kids. Climb the 220 steps of the Currituck Lighthouse for ocean-to-sound views, or take your 4x4 vehicle on the beach where the road ends. See the wild ponies roaming the sands (believed to be descended from survivors of 17th-century Spanish shipwrecks). Or, head south to Kitty Hawk to visit the Wright Brothers National Monument or run Jockey’s Ridge, the huge sand dune that seems even more prominent in the moonlight. You’ll find a long stretch of beachy restaurants, stores, mini-golf, and a movie theater heading South to Hatteras.

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.” In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing. “I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says. Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream. Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks. After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
