Visit Ocracoke11th Annual Ocracoke Fig Festival

The Ocracoke Fig Festival is a celebration of all things fig and is designed to honor the island’s long history and passion for figs and to share it with new generations and newcomers. The two-day event features booths of locally made fig creations, fig history, fig tastings, a fig cake bake-off, a square dance, and old-fashioned crafts, and games. Figs were introduced to the island more than 200 years ago. Now, there are at least nine types of figs grown on the island.
