Wilmington NC has been recognized by Coastal Living Magazine as one of the top 10 spots for July 4th festivities. The fireworks display at the Battleship is a huge drawing card, as one of the largest in the region.

“We chose to highlight Wilmington among the others because of the variety of fun options centered around the waterfront and the unique fireworks display,” said Jacquelyne Froeber, Travel Editor for Coastal Living.
Other great locations include Honolulu, Myrtle Beach, San Francisco and Chicago.

Two downtown restaurants were also noted for great viewing, The George and Elijah’s.

This list will appear in the July/August issue of Coastal Living.

The 14th Annual Battleship Blast kicks off this year at 9:05 PM following the street fair in downtown Wilmington.
