🪁 The Outer Banks Kite Festival returns to Jockey’s Ridge September 11–12 🪁

The skies over Jockey’s Ridge State Park will fill with color, movement, and some seriously big kites during the 2026 Outer Banks Kite Festival!

This free, family-friendly event brings some of the nation’s best stunt kite pilots to the Outer Banks for two days of impressive aerial displays, professional demonstrations, hands-on lessons, and kite-flying fun.

Festivalgoers can look to the skies for massive display kites, including a 100-foot octopus, an 80-foot panda, and a 50-foot fish, flying high above the dunes of Jockey’s Ridge. Throughout the weekend, professional kite pilots will showcase incredible artistry and skill through synchronized routines, kite flying set to music, stunt demonstrations, and more.

Bookings have slowed down a little bit for everyone, but the fishing definitely hasn’t. If anything, it’s been getting better.

The mahi have finally shown up and seem to be fairly plentiful. Yesterday we got around some birds and picked at tunas, catching singles and doubles throughout the day. Today we had another good mahi catch and added a wahoo and a few tunas to the box.

The billfish bite was really good today too. Boats that went looking for sails were catching anywhere from three to a dozen per boat.

Nearshore fishing has been steady with bluefish and Spanish mackerel.

We’ve got Wednesday open for an all-day trip, Thursday and Friday afternoons open for nearshore, and a few days available next week.
