OCRACOKE FIG FESTIVAL

Event Start: 08/01/2025
Event End: 08/02/2025
Once upon a time, Margaret Garrish, an Ocracoke housewife, wanted to bake a date cake. But here she was, stuck on an island, with no dates in her pantry, so she substituted with something she had on hand: fig preserves. Thus, the Ocracoke fig cake (as we know it today) was born.
