Ocracoke may be a small island, but there’s no shortage of things to do once the sun goes down. Throughout the summer, you’ll find live music drifting from local restaurants, bars, and outdoor patios—everything from acoustic sets to full bands playing under the stars.

Many island businesses host regular entertainment, like live music, trivia, karaoke and the occasional open mic night that bring locals and visitors together. Whether you’re grabbing a drink, enjoying fresh seafood, or just out for a stroll, chances are you’ll come across something happening.

Keep an eye on chalkboard signs around the village or check with your favorite spots on Facebook—there’s always something fun going on!
