Join inspirational speaker, Nancy McAllister, to learn how she used nature and a passion for birds to begin her journey of healing after a family tragedy. Come hear her many wonderful, heartwarming stories as she juggled life, work and family while using a “Big Year” birding adventure to heal, renew and rediscover herself.

Owl Prowl
How do owls hunt at night? What owls live around here? Join us on Saturday, November 16, 2019, from 7 pm-8:30 pm at Wetlands Overlook Park for a walk on the woodland trail to learn these answers along with these nocturnal creature’s amazing adaptations to survive living at night. Plan on an hour and a half program and please dress for the weather. Binoculars are not necessary but flashlights or headlamps are allowed and we will be covering the lights with red film to make them more friendly to owl’s eyes. Refreshments will be served afterward.

2019 Christmas on the Beach
The Town of North Beach kicks off the festive holiday season by Lighting Up the Town on Friday, November 29th, 2019 at 7 pm! Onlookers gather on the pavilion as we flip the switch to light up the town Christmas tree and holiday displays. The NORTH BEACH CHRISTMAS MARKET will be on Saturday, December 7th, 2019 from 10 am to 3 pm on 5th Street near the boardwalk. The Annual Pat Carpenter Holiday Parade is the same day beginning at noon. This festive parade draws spectators from afar! The boardwalk is lined with hundreds of people viewing the parade. The best part is when the jolly-old-fat man arrives by fire truck! Santa and Mrs. Claus visit with children and give them a special treat. Tell the kids to bring their wish list to share with Santa! Warm-up around the campfire as you roast marshmallows!
