Committee Mission:
Our mission is to provide an event that enhances our church’s fellowship among our parishioners, Montessori school teachers, high school students and any others external to our church who are willing to volunteer. Our goal is to have a profitable outcome for our Outer Banks Community outreach charities and to demonstrate to our Outer Banks community the significant spiritual, monetary and very popular activity that All Saints provides.

The parishioners completely empty the church and set up sites to support 42 vendors. The festival occurs each year on the Friday, Saturday weekend just before Thanksgiving. There is no cost charged for visitors at this event. Lunches can be purchased, and free coffee and hot apple cider are available. Starting this year, for the children, there is a free treasure hunt will be setup in the shopping area within the church.
