[Local Buzz] OBXentertainment.com Welcomes Roanoke Island Festival Park!

Posted By Matt Artz on April 16, 2013

We would like to officially welcome Roanoke Island Festival Park to the OBXentertainment.com Family!

Twenty-three years before Jamestown, there was Roanoke Island, and while the settlement didn’t survive, the history, adventure, and family fun did.

In addition to hosting the biggest concert events to come to the Outer Banks at their giant outdoor amphitheatre, Festival Park is an interactive family attraction that celebrates the first English settlement in America.

The centerpiece of the 25-acre island park, located across from the Manteo waterfront, is the Elizabeth II, a representation of one of the seven English ships from the Roanoke Voyage of 1585.
