Roanoke Island Festival Park celebrates the first temporary English settlements in the New World, sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh from 1584 to 1587. With a spacious art gallery, the Roanoke Adventure Museum, and a representative 16th century sailing ship, the Elizabeth II, the Roanoke Island Festival Park makes history fun and exciting.
Roanoke Island Festival Park is a 25-acre state site offering visitor activities celebrating history, education, arts and environment. Climb aboard the Elizabeth II, a 16th century representative sailing vessel. Meet soldiers in the Settlement Site and explore more than 400 years of history in the Roanoke Adventure Museum.
View local art in the Art Gallery. Visit the museum store. Stroll our boardwalks through natural marshes. The park is located across from the Manteo Waterfront and 5 miles from the beaches.
