One of the East Coast’s most unique and entertaining festivals is ready for takeoff! OBX Brewtag 2025 returns this Saturday, October 25 from 11 AM to 6 PM at the Soundside Event Site in Nags Head. Admission is free and everyone is invited to join the fun.
Part flying competition, part beer festival, and part family carnival, OBX Brewtag is a celebration of flight, creativity, and community. The centerpiece of the day: brave teams launching homemade flying machines—built around empty 1/6 barrel kegs—off a 20-foot-high platform in a hilarious competition of distance, design, and flair.
What to Expect at OBX Brewtag 2025:
Brewtag is more than just fun—it’s flight for a cause. Proceeds benefit the Rogallo Foundation, supporting its mission to honor the legacy of Francis and Gertrude Rogallo, inventors of the flexible wing, and to build a future aviation museum and Hall of Fame right here on the Outer Banks.
