WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Three community organizations are joining forces to bring families, students, and neighbors together for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and community engagement at the Williston Fall Festival.

The festival is rescheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Williston Middle School.

The New Hanover Chapter of the NAACP, the New Hanover County Association of Educators, and the Williston PTA are partnering to host the celebration after it was originally scheduled for Sunday, October 11.

The festival was postponed out of an abundance of caution due to inclement weather and storm-related safety concerns.

“There will be something for everyone to enjoy! Glizzies on the Go will be on-site selling hotdogs and drinks, while nachos, cotton candy, and popcorn will be available free of charge,” according to festival organizers.

Festival attendees can also look forward to several exciting attractions and special contributions from community partners, including:

  • Redd’s Photography, sponsoring a Photobook experience and a 360-degree camera platform to help attendees capture special memories.
  • Hoops Wilmington, bringing its mobile basketball experience for interactive fun and friendly competition.
  • Local community organizations, who will be present to share information about their programs, resources, and services available to families throughout New Hanover County.
