We have WINNERS!✨🎄

The 3rd Annual 12 Bars of Christmas Charity Raffle is officially in the books — and y’all showed up in a big way. Together, we raised $37,090 through passport sales for local charities and a total of $83,089 in charitable donations throughout the month. This community never fails to show up when it matters.

A huge thank you to our incredible local businesses who sponsored these prizes — this raffle wouldn’t be possible without your generosity and community spirit. Because of you, we’re able to give back and support causes that mean so much right here at home.

Congratulations to all of our winners! Thank you to everyone who participated, supported local, and made the 2025 12 Bars of Christmas one to remember.

LAST CALL🎄

Tonight is the final night of the 12 Bars of Christmas, and we couldn’t let it end without a massive THANK YOU. To everyone who bundled up, dressed up, bar-hopped, laughed, danced, and celebrated the holidays with us—this year was truly something special.

To our local restaurants and bars who poured their hearts into the food, drinks, decorations, and events—this tradition wouldn’t exist without your creativity, hustle, and holiday spirit.

And because of all of YOU, we raised money for local charities, giving back to the Outer Banks community that gives us so much all year long. That’s what this is really about.
