About Thrive Month

February brings a quieter Outer Banks and an ideal opportunity to invest in health, happiness and longevity. Thrive Month fills the chilly season with activities designed to help everyone put more energy into well-being. With the holidays behind us and the beaches at rest, make a play toward feeling your best.

Thrive Month welcomes everyone. Taking part means making well-being a priority, supporting longevity, exploring Thrive5, and finding meaningful ways to care for yourself and others. Participants can connect with the community and join a well-being movement across the Outer Banks. The goal is to complete the month feeling grounded, supported, inspired and well.

The Thrive Month Playbook

The Playbook serves as the central guide to Thrive Month. It includes step-by-step guidance, activity details and all 25 activities. Participants also receive the High Five and Thrive Tracker, which uses a symbolic “high five” to record completed activities and follow engagement.

There are three ways to participate and qualify to win prizes:

• Thrive À La Carte: Choose any five activities from any pillar.
• Thrive Sampler: Complete any five activities, selecting one from each pillar.
• Thrive Champion: Take part in all five activities across all five pillars, completing a total of 25 activities.

Prize redemption information will be emailed to participants at the end of the month.

The Playbook costs $10 and can be found at www.ThriveOBX.com/ThriveMonth or at select pop-up locations throughout Dare County.

Supporting Local Well-Being

All Playbook proceeds and ThriveOBXTM donations benefit the ThriveOBXTM Well-Being Grant Program. The program will fund local organizations working to improve health and well-being in their workplaces and throughout the community.

This new grant program is in development, with additional information scheduled for release in the spring of 2026.

Thrive Month is sponsored in part by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau.
