The Wilmington Boat Show parades thousands of people downtown for a 3-day event
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – The Wilmington Boat Show is underway at the Wilmington Convention Center.
Friday kicked off the three-day event in downtown Wilmington. Attendees were able to explore the boat and fishing exhibit, listen to live music, see a fishing and release pond, and eat from local food trucks.
The event takes place inside and outside the convention center.
Show founder Jacqui McGuinness is hoping for a big turnout this weekend.
“We just opened the gates, and we had a line up at the gate and it will definitely be a good weekend to come to the boat show,†he said on Friday. “It’s so popular right now in the boating industry that it’s very difficult for dealers to keep inventory in stock, well for a lot of reasons, but the good news is we have boats here. “
The event is Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
