Join in a Bald Head Island tradition and be a part of the largest beach party each month when the full moon rises out of the Atlantic Ocean. This month’s Howl Party will be held on Friday, September 29, 2023 – the “Harvest Moon”!
An Island tradition since January 2011, the Maritime Market hosts the Island’s largest beach party each month when the full moon rises out of the Atlantic Ocean. The “Howl” party (as it’s called by the locals) happens on East Beach (Access 39) and attendees BYOB and bring appetizers to share.
The “Howl” party happens when the Moon rises and the entire group breaks into a collective “howl!” around a blazing bonfire.
We’ll have the bonfire blazing (weather permitting) and Peter (the piper) will be playing the ancient Celtic melodies on his bagpipes just as the moon breaks the surface of the Atlantic. Chef Marc serves a huge pot of soup for all to enjoy.
The event is free and open to all.
