Kill Devil Hills’ neighbors love coming together to enjoy an evening of ice cream, food, and fellowship at the town’s annual Ice Cream Social event.

The KDH Fire Department, Fire Auxiliary staff, and the KDH Police Department can typically be found grilling up some delicious food and positively engaging with community members.  

The local school’s bands usually set the tune for the evening.

This event is a prime example of what our town is all about – community.

Santa at Town Hall

A very special visitor comes to Kill Devil Hills each December to meet the good children of the community before his “big night.” Santa visits the Town Hall and takes photos with the kids and listens to their Christmas wishes. There are goodie bags, cookies, festive tunes and sleigh rides that go around Aviation Park so all can admire our holiday displays.

There is typically a donation drive held in coordination with this event.
