Everything Outer Banks

Hangin with Santa & Kites with Lights! November 26th & 27th, 2010 Come celebrate the end of a great year with us at our Kitty Hawk Kites Store in Nags Head (mile post 12.5). On the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving, come out to our store to see Santa himself! Santa visits us each year in hopes of getting to fly a hang glider! On Saturday, the kite festival begins on Jockeys Ridge! Kites will be put up around 4pm, and as the sun goes down (usually around 5 depending on clouds), watch the sky light up with Kites with Lights! Santa always makes sure to see each and every child before he leaves for the day. If it's good weather, he'll be outside, and if it's cold he'll move inside the store so the kids can stay warm. We hope you make this a yearly tradition with your family like we have with ours! As soon as the sun starts to set, come up to Jockeys Ridge and see huge 19' delta kites soar above the dunes. When it starts to get dark, the lights really begin to show up! Check out our facebook page for pictures from last year's event. If you get cold, it's no problem! We'll have hot cidar and tons of cookies inside our store, free of charge for all spectators. If you want to be out on the dunes under the kites, we'll provide complimentary flashlights, glow sticks, and other light up toys. Just try to return them so we can use them for next year!
