No excuses about having nothing to do this weekend. Besides the beautiful weather and the awesome scenery in the area, we have 2 long time festivals to enjoy this weekend. The Wilmington NC area plays host to the Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival is in it’s eighteenth year and promises to be better than ever. Headliner – 18th Annual Seafood, Blues and Jazz Festival proudly announces this year’s headliner band is:
JIMMIE VAUGHAN and The Tilt-a-Whirl Band featuring Lou Ann Barton – October 8, 2011
According to the Pleasure Island website ” Join Us in Kure Beach for Music, Food, Crafts, and More…A weekend of non-stop musical talent, the Pleasure Island Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival features live jazz and blues performances on two stages. The music can’t be beat and the locally prepared seafood is simply the best in the region.”
“This two-day festival takes place along the scenic Cape Fear River at the Fort Fisher Military Recreational Area in Kure beach. Enjoy browsing at the Fine Arts Plaza, shopping for crafts, listening to music, and fine wine tasting. Children will stay entertained for hours as they enjoy magicians, juggling acts, clowns and much more in the Kidz Zone.”
