View In Chartview

Edenton, NC - the prettiest town in the South!

A longtime CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, historic Edenton always has an exciting calendar of events and places to visit! Edenton is at the mouth of the Chowan River on the northwest shore of Albemarle Sound.

The holidays are here!

December in Edenton is full of family-friendly traditions and holiday events. Plan now to join us for the holiday season in Edenton.

Our luxurious Bed & Breakfasts are beautifully decorated and ready to welcome you with holiday cheer. You’ll be close to all of the festivities in Downtown Edenton.

Here’s what’s happening during the holidays:

Surf, Wind & Fire’s Christmas Market Block Party & Albemarle Chorale Christmas Concert

Join us in Downtown Edenton on Sunday, December 1st, for a neighborhood block party! This special holiday block party will take place from 12 – 4 p.m. and feature food trucks, a bounce house and face painting for kids, and live music. Special Christmas vendors will also be on-site so you can pick up a few holiday gifts. Following the block party, the Albemarle Chorale will be performing “A Christmas Offering” at 4:00 p.m.

Edenton’s Kick-off to Christmas on December 7th

Saturday, December 7th, will be packed full of holiday events in Downtown Edenton. The Rudolph Run 5K will kick-off in the morning at 7:15 a.m. and will benefit the Aces Booster Club. Then, our traditional kick-off to Christmas event will start at 3:00 p.m. at the Waterfront. Join us for food trucks, a chili cook-off, a children’s story time, Christmas tree lighting, visits with Santa Claus, and our annual Christmas flotilla!

Winter Festival & Edenton-Chowan Christmas Parade on December 14th

More of Edenton’s holiday traditions happen on Saturday, December 14th. The Edenton Farmers Market will host the Winter Festival from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. with over 30 local vendors offering handmade and local gifts. Then, our annual Christmas parade down Broad Street starts at 10 a.m. Local bands, businesses, and organizations will ring in the holiday season with festive floats and, of course, the appearance of Santa Claus!

Today’s Coastal Review: Eastern NC’s black bears: How hunters helped save a species – Coastal Review
In the NC Cut, my family and I came upon what we thought was a Mickey Mouse balloon floating across the ICW. It was a black bear!
Special report: The state’s black bear population was in trouble 50 years ago, but research and conservation measures put in place in the decades since — with hunters’ “direct cooperation” — have enabled the species to recover, although not everyone is happy.
