NC Holiday Flotilla returns Nov. 26-27 with record number of decorated boats
WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — This year’s NC Holiday Flotilla promises to be the biggest and most colorful in the history of the event.
Committee Chair Linda Brown says there was never a question of bringing back the flotilla after last year’s hiatus; it just became a matter of how to restructure and improve the boat parade.
The 2-day event kicks off Friday, Nov. 26 with a Captain’s meeting at 5PM at a sound-side tent in front of the Blockade Runner Beach Resort.
The Door-to-Dock Decorating Contest which started last year during the pandemic will return this year by popular demand, and it will also start at 5 p.m. Friday and run for 8 days.

- Food Vendors – 10AM to 2PM
