Fall on the Outer Banks is a special place for many reasons. One of those reasons is the Duck Jazz Festival. This FREE event allows you to bring your own chairs or blankets along with food and drinks to the Duck Town Green as you enjoy two days of amazing live Jazz music. Well behaved dogs are also allowed! Mark your calendars for October 7th & 8th.
