Head to the tiny coastal village of Ocracoke for a big Independence Day celebration that includes fireworks, a parade, and plenty of family fun. The highlight of the Ocracoke Independence Day Celebration is the annual amazing fireworks display over the Silver Lake Harbor after the sun goes down. Visitors will find plenty of seating all around the harborfront docks, and can bring along beach chairs, towels, blankets, and everything they need to enjoy the show.

The celebration features an annual Sand Sculpture Contest which is held at the local beach and is easily a highlight of the festivities for participants and spectators alike. The fun continues with the annual Classic Old-Time Parade, which features floats, bikes, and golf carts that celebrate both Independence Day as well as the culture of Ocracoke’s life by the water. The celebration is always a highlight of the summer, and visitors are always welcome to join in the fun. An incredible celebration that will make anyone fall in love with Ocracoke’s contagious community spirit, this event is always a crowd-pleaser for visitors of all ages.

Come on in and see for yourself why Miller’s Seafood & Steakhouse is more than just a great restaurant. It’s a tradition.

 

It was 1978 when Eddie and Lou Miller first opened Miller’s Seafood and Steakhouse. As a teenager, their son Brian spent his summers working in the restaurant, getting familiar with the family business. After college, Brian and his wife Beth came back to Kill Devil Hills and began working together at Miller’s. Brian and Beth officially purchased the restaurant from Eddie and Lou in 2007. A few years later they opened American Pie together, and both restaurants now carry on the Miller family tradition of quality, excellence and hospitality.
