What a wonderful Yuletide Celebration this past weekend! For 15 years, the community has come together to kick off the holiday season together in a tradition that warms our hearts year after year.
A huge thank you to Santa and Sprinkles the Elf for sharing their holiday magic with us. It wouldn’t have been the same without you! And huge thanks to to the First Flight High School Choir and Sam on Sax for providing the festive tunes all afternoon!
We’re also so grateful to TowneBank, Kitty Hawk Kites, and Kellogg Supply Company for making the Yuletide Celebration extra special.
Last but not least, thank YOU for being part of our celebration! Here's to many more years of celebrating the season together! 🎉

Today, we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Founded on November 10, 1775 in Philadelphia, the US Marine Corps has stood as a symbol of honor, courage, and commitment for two and a half centuries.

To all Marines, past, present, and future, we offer our deepest gratitude for your unwavering dedication and sacrifice. Your service and strength have not only shaped our nation’s history but continue to inspire generations. As we commemorate this milestone, we honor every Marine who has proudly worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and we remember with reverence those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom. Your courage and commitment continue to uplift us all and strengthen the spirit of our community.

Semper Fi, and Happy Birthday, Marines!

Whether you’re returning for another great year or joining us for the first time, here are a few tips to help you make the most of your weekend:

👉 Be courteous to your fellow festivalgoers. Bring a rain jacket or poncho to stay dry! Umbrellas nor tents can be set up on the Town Green or in the Amphitheater area. You may use a handheld umbrella between performances, but you must close it while a band is playing so you do not block the view of other attendees, ensuring everyone can enjoy the show.

👉 Stay hydrated and fueled. Bring your own picnic and cooler or enjoy food from our onsite food trucks. Please note that tables taller than 2 feet and glass containers are not permitted.

👉 Be a good neighbor. Enjoy the company of those around you. Smoking and vaping in the park are prohibited.

👉 Enjoy the moment. Sit back, relax, and soak up the music! No video recording or flash photography during performances.

👉 Support the community. Visit sponsor tables and local businesses while you’re in Town to say thank you for helping make this event possible!

We look forward to welcoming you for another unforgettable weekend of jazz in Duck!
