Don't walk out the door or book a flight in the Wilmington area without checking this chapter first! There may well be a special event happening in Wilmington you wouldn't want to miss. And we don't want you smacking your forehead if you do miss something unnecessarily. So we've listed all of Wilmington’s, and the region's most popular annual events in one goof-proof, month-by-month list. Each listing provides the event's street location, an information phone number and admission fees. (Naturally, call ahead for events listed with unspecified fees.) Should you require further information, call the appropriate chamber of commerce for the location. For events in the greater Wilmington NC area, you may also contact the Cape Fear Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau, 341-4030 or (800) 222-4757. Annual fishing and golf tournaments, sailing regattas and athletic events are listed in their respective chapters.
