Come celebrate Earth Day (week) with the Coastal Environmental Educators Network and friends. The event will bring together many Outer Banks and regional organizations that offer environmental education opportunities and services to the community. Share your love for the natural world and check out our fun, free, and informative exhibits and activities for kids.
Kitty Hawk Kites is teaming up with Dare Arts Council to create the Outer Banks ‘Sweep the Beach’ Trash Art Contest! In conjunction with Earth Day, we ask artists to create work from the trash they have collected from our beaches. After submission, artwork will be placed on our TrART Walk in varying locations across the Outer Banks. Select pieces will be collected and moved to Jockey’s Ridge State Park and on display during Earth Fair OBX. Selected pieces will be adjudicated and voted on for varying prize categories. Winners will be announced at the Kitty Hawk Kites booth at 3:45 pm.
