Enrich
your stay along North Carolina's southern
coast by attending some of the many unique and festive special events
listed in this chapter. Choose from rich cultural celebrations, civic
events, fund-raisers or festivities surrounding the area's abundant
natural resources. You'll find more things to do than you can ever fit
into your calendar.If
you're a newcomer to the area, there's no better way to get acquainted
with your community than volunteering to help at a local event. We've
compiled a list of some popular annual happenings in a month-by-month
format; however, you'll want to check out other sources often. For
events in the Greater Wilmington area, stop in or call the Cape Fear
Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, 24 North Third Street, Wilmington,
(910) 341-4030 or (800) 406-2356. Visit your local chamber of commerce
(see our
Area Overview chapter), read local publications (see our
Media chapter) and keep an eye out for brochures or announcement
posters around town. A statewide bi-monthly publication, North
Carolina Festivals, is available at visitor centers, online at
www.festivalnews.info or by calling (800) 357-0121. Another excellent
resource is the state's events website: http://www.visitnc.com/calendar.
We list other annual events,
such as fishing and golf tournaments, sailing regattas and athletic
events in the
Golf,
Sports, Fitness and Parks, and
Watersports chapters.
