Cape Fear Flotilla season is here!
If you’re new to the area or maybe have just never heard of Flotilla, the Wrightsville Beach Holiday Flotilla describes it as “the Southern coastal version of a holiday parade – on water – at night.”
Dozens of boats, big and small, will be decked out from bow to stern in thousands of lights and other holiday decorations as they cruise around their beach town for tourists and locals to enjoy and vote for their favorites.
Each Flotilla has its own charm so check out one or all of them around the Cape Fear region this holiday season.
