• Holiday Celebrations Throughout The Year - Oriental Style! RUNNING OF THE DRAGON - NEW YEARS EVE If you can't make it this year to the New Years Eve famous running of the dragon and croaker drop then you need to think about making your room reservations now for next year. Some places pre-book up to a year in advance for this special fun event. CROAKER FESTIVAL - JULY 4TH CELEBRATION Another big weekend in Oriental is our July 4th celebration we all call Croaker Festival. Now this is a full weekend of fun for all ages complete with the big Croaker Parade that you just gotta see, a street fair with all sorts of rides and goodies for the kids as well as crafts and live music for the adults. Topping it all off is a firework display that is better than I have seen in large cities. Mark those calendars now and call for those room reservations because we do tend to get booked up on these special weekends. SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION Talking about small town charm this is a must see. Always on the second weekend in December, Oriental becomes like a picture from Norman Rockwell. On Friday the boat parade of lights begin the weekend holiday festivities, followed by the lighting of the star. Then on Saturday the true spirit of the holidays shines through as merchants and businesses all over town open their doors with lots of holiday cheer in the form of hot clam chowder, super chili, hot dogs, apple cider and everything else you can think of to eat or drink. Just when you think your day has ended the small town Christmas Parade starts it winding journey thru the village where thousands of folks line the streets waiting to see good old Santa Clause. The lighting of hundreds of luminaries along the village streets is a heart warming and final ending to a perfect day. FORGET FOOTBALL REGATTA - NEW YEARS DAY An event every sailor looks forward to each year....the laid-back fun race for any and all boats and experience is not necessary! Weather is normally mild and long sleeve shirts is all you usually need. Cancellations rarely occur since the "Oriental rule of thumb" is the wind speed can't be higher than the temperature! The only winners are those that are officially declared by a secret drawing at 3:00 p.m. when by mandatory rules all crew have to gather at M&M Restuarant for a little food and "cheer".
