This winter, our Community Winter Activities brought a little taste of Germany to Ocracoke with a hands-on cooking session featuring Mandelhörnchen (German Almond Horns). Popular throughout Germany, these German Almond Horns feature the delicious flavor of almonds and marzipan and a wonderfully chewy texture. Best of all, they are gluten-free!

The Afterschool Program is in full swing, and we wanted to check in with what our participants are up to this week!

So far, the weekly activities have been packed with variety: we had Cast of Characters Theater Class, Board Game Bonanza, Choir, Upcycled Crafts, and GET OUT(side) Seed Hunt. Debbie guided the kids through making creme puffs (and yes, they were delicious!), the Construction Crew built bridges, Lou Castro taught ukulele lessons, students squared off in chess club, putting their best strategies to the test.

From music to baking to games of wit, the afternoons are full of creativity, learning, and fun!

See us in one week at the Ocracoke Alive's Deepwater Theater! Get ready to hear incredible songs by local musicians on beautiful Ocracoke Island!

Each year, the Ocrafolk Festival comes to life not just through music and community—but through the incredible art that captures its spirit. From whimsical illustrations to bold designs, these posters tell the story of each unique year. Here’s a look back at the artwork for past festivals. Which one’s your favorite? With over 50 sponsors supporting Ocrafolk this year, we are so thankful to everyone who helps keep the arts alive on Ocracoke and beyond.
