Show Map
With growth, comes challenges. This is the case in downtown Wilmington and specifically around the Port City Marina. The in-Water slips at the Marina will not be available this year due to incredible slip demand as well as construction within and around the marina. After working with the City event staff and the CVB, we have created a great plan for the Boat Show.
