4 off us went to the Pirate Jam 2 years ago. Beautiful time of year to visit the Outer Banks We had a great time but were really disappointed that so many of the restaurants were closed. Would love to come again, enjoy the hospitality and bounty of Ocracoke with a few more dining options and events. I think is an amazing way to ‘close the season’ and bring a little more revenue before the slow season. Looking forward to the next one.
