We’re figgin’ out! Getting our first figs of the season from our giant Blue Fig Tree! The blue fig is one of Ocracoke’s traditional fig varieties and is very much like the Black Mission figs popular in California.
This one came with the house and we’ve been picking figs from it for 32 summers now!
We only found a couple of ripe ones today, lots of almost-ripe figs, and soooo many little green babies!
Show us your figs!

Too late for today’s breakfast, but maybe there are some left for a snack? Yum!

Never do we ever post twice but we had to share this! They’ll be in the pastry case first thing this morning cause it’s such FIG deal. . .

This little detail is from our 2026 artwork by island resident Aldo Serrano.
With all the AI-generated slop being used and shared on social media, I want to assure you that the Ocracoke Fig Festival will never use AI in any of our social media posts, artwork, or posters. We hire real people and always will! All of our art vendors make real art!
The Fig Festival’s mission is to remain authentic to figs, Ocracoke, and our fig-tastic festival-goers!

Calling all FIGGY vendors!
The Ocracoke Fig Fest is seeking vendors for the 2026 event on August 7-8.
We are a fig-focused festival, so we require that at least 50% of each vendor's wares are figgy -- but anything goes! We're had fig art, fig jewelry, fig pottery, fig soap, fig trees, fresh figs, fig cakes, fig preserves, fig teas, fig BBQ sauce, fig prints -- put a fig on it and it will sell!
We also require that your items be made or designed by you. :)
We don't charge a booth fee, but do need a donation item for our silent auction.
If that sounds fun, please join us!
Email [email protected] for a vendor form.
Pictured is Beth Jarvah, who was a new vendor in 2025.

These are Blue Figs, a traditional island fig. It came with the house!
These will ripen in June and then a bigger crop will ripen in late July. Yum!
Show us your baby figs!
