North Carolina Holiday Flotilla
Wrightsville Beach Park, Banks Channel, Wrightsville Beach, NC
A lighted boat parade crosses Banks Channel in Wrightsville Beach every Thanksgiving weekend, followed by fireworks over the water. The 43rd annual edition in 2026 runs three days with a captains' meeting, a park festival with vendors, and an awards ceremony for the decorated boats. It draws spectators from across the Cape Fear coast to the causeway and beaches.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
