⚾ NATIONAL WANNA HAVE A CATCH DAY – OBX Baseball Nostalgia

It’s National Wanna Have a Catch Day, and if you’ve ever tossed a baseball with a loved one, you know the magic of a simple game of catch.

🏟️ The Outer Banks Scallywags (formerly known as the Daredevils) bring summer baseball to life at Coy Tillett Memorial Field in Manteo. As part of the Premier Collegiate League, they light up the OBX with wooden bats, local fans, and unforgettable summer nights. Their season kicks off soon—keep an eye on our events page!

🧢 Baseball is woven into Eastern North Carolina’s roots, with town leagues, Legion teams, and farm league legends all leaving their mark. Whether it’s the crack of the bat or the smell of fresh-cut grass, the spirit of the game runs deep here.

Want to play catch today? Try Dowdy Park (Nags Head) or Satterfield Landing Park (Manteo)—both great for a little friendly competition under the sun.

🇺🇸 Just 54 Days Until Independence Day Weekend on the OBX!

That’s fewer than 8 weeks until fireworks light up the sky and beach towns come alive with parades, live music, and old-fashioned family fun. July 4th on the Outer Banks is pure Americana: Corolla's fire truck parade, Hatteras bonfires, Manteo’s waterfront celebration—it’s everything summer should be.

Start planning now. Today’s sunshine is just a preview.
