Family Friendly Fun in Wilmington North Carolina

Summertime brings Free Movies at the Lake to Wilmington, North Carolina. Somehow summer’s coming to a close, with this Labor Day weekend ending the movie series for another year. Carolina Beach Lake Park has a treat in store for families on September 6. 



Bring chairs or a blanket to set on the lawn and relax in the fresh night air while the final show of the season displays a lot of Disney magic. The latest remake of Cinderella features Ella, her fairy godmother, wicked stepmother and her mean daughters, and of course, a prince.




Are you traveling to Wilmington later in the year? You’ll discover a number of things to do in and around the area. Check out the events calendar and include Zumba or a walking tour in your business trip or vacation. 

I’ve always enjoyed my visits to North Carolina and look forward to the next trip. It really is a family friendly state that makes you want to move there or return as often as possible.

Is there a place you'd like to return to soon?
