IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR

The charms of the ocean, the enchanted holiday season shows, the adventure of a scenic cruise, quaint shopping villages-all cast a spell, beckoning you to travel to Wrightsville Beach this holiday season. Lighted boat parades, festivals and fishing, triathlons and turkey trots, kites and crafts and fabulous food galore play a part in the holiday flare. Savor freshly picked produce from our farmers market, poke around the Wrightsville Beach Museum and sip holiday flavored teas while enjoying live music in Airlie Gardens. Tis the season to start some new traditions and reacquaint yourself with old favorites.

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR

Take part in a favorite holiday tradition at the Wrightsville Tree Lighting Ceremony, Friday, November 27. Then stick around for an elegant night of dining and dancing at the Flotilla Holiday Party. On Saturday, November 28, begin the day in the Park with children’s games, music and holiday gifts. That night, enjoy illuminated boats glimmering on the Intracoastal waterway tapped off with a captivating fireworks display. And don’t miss Enchanted Airlie, when the gardens come alive with magical illuminations under the stars, Friday, November 27 through Tuesday, December 22.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
