About
Roanoke Island Festival Park offers an interactive family experience centered on the story of the first English settlement in America. Set across from the Manteo NC waterfront, the 25-acre island park features the Elizabeth II, a representation of one of the seven English ships from the Roanoke Voyage of 1585.
Guests can board the ship to help raise the sails, chart a course, and swab the decks. At the Settlement Site, visitors can experience straw and feather beds, woodworking, and games, while the blacksmith demonstrates the creation of his 16th century wares.
The Adventure Museum brings 400 years of history to life for visitors of all ages. American Indian Town offers an opportunity to discover Algonquin culture and learn about the vital and vibrant heritage and traditions of the American Indians in our region.
Additional experiences include the Fossil Pit, the Museum Store, the Outer Banks History Center, and marsh-side boardwalks surrounding the site.
Summer concerts take place in the Outdoor Pavilion. The Pavilion Stage is available for wedding and reception rentals and includes theatrical lighting. Inside weather back-up locations are also available for events.
