What a great place to enjoy July 4th festivities. You don't have to leave the island and tackle the beach traffic. You can stay right here in our gated community and enjoy the fun all day.
Boat Parade Started at 1pm. This is where decorated boats ride through the canals with super soakers and have water fights with other boats and spectators. You'll see my family is setting up for the parade below. The kids were bummed b/c the water hose didn't reach the boats.

This boat is decked out in flags.
The J-Ellis band started at 4:30 at soundside beach/park, so we loaded up the boat and went over to see the band and have hot dogs and hamburgers. See festivities below. It was nice to have fun with my fellow Colingtonians. What a fun community. This is the first summer we've spent in the Harbour in 3 years, and my first boat parade, but not my last. Next year we're getting super soakers ready and decorating the boat! Below you'll see soundside fun.

You can see why living in Colington Harbour is one of the best boating communities on the outer banks. Not only do we have fun, and beat to a different drum, our canals fit all size boats unlike a lot of soundfront communities on OBX. We have a soundside beach/park,saltwater pool where water aerobic classes are offered,a Clubhouse that hosts parties, activities, yoga, and zumba classes. Love my community!
Excellent blog! Everyone in Colington should read this and have pride in our wonderful and unique community... Thank you.
