Today is a good day! Get out there and ride life's unstoppable waves ? ? ?

Our limited-edition 2022 holiday t-shirt design has arrived! Each year, our holiday design will feature one of the many mythical figures from holiday folklore. Our inaugural design commemorating our first holiday season features KRAMPUS lurking in a colonial settlement on a snowy night, his bag loaded with gifts specific to each of the characters featured in our other apparel designs.

These ComfortWash shirts are available in three colors: Cayenne, Moss, and Black. Also, we have a very small selection of long-sleeve shirts in black only. The “KRAMPUSNACHT” design is only available while supplies last and will never be printed again, so be sure to get yours before they’re gone! Call Heather in our “Hop Shop” retail store at (252) 423-3033, or order online at lostcolonytavern.com!

Next weekend, don’t miss the biggest holiday event on the Outer Banks! On Friday, Manteo’s FIRST FRIDAY street party celebration coincides with the Grand Illumination of the town’s Christmas Tree! The streets of Downtown Manteo will be bustling with bands, street vendors, and to-go beers for strolling around the “walking waterfront.” Then on Saturday morning, don’t miss the annual CHRISTMAS PARADE as it winds its way right past the tavern. The parade starts at 10:30, so come early to claim your spot on our outdoor patio for a front-row seat as the parade cruises through the Manteo Waterfront Marina. Kick off the holidays with the best party of the season!

While all the preparing and planning isn’t the most fun, with these tips you’ll be able to have a more enjoyable beach day with all the fun and none of the stress. Don’t forget to let them get covered in sand, splash in the waves, and just take it all in because after all, they’re only little once!
