We have learned that Ocracoke is having their first-ever decoy festival the same day as Homecoming – April 21. If you plan to attend both events, you may want to make room reservations for Saturday night as well – ASAP as rooms on Ocracoke will fill up fast. Boats from Portsmouth back to Ocracoke will leave starting at 2:00 pm, giving you plenty of time to check out the decoy festival which ends at 6:00 pm. It will be a busy weekend at Ocracoke and we look forward to seeing you at Homecoming! Reminder that most of the houses at Portsmouth will be open for viewing, and the first 500 people will receive our commemorative Homecoming pin. See you there!
