The Wilmington Boat Show is designed to be a RETAIL SHOPPING VENUE. It will be held in three separate spaces which allows social distancing. There will be no VIP event, entertainment features, children’s activities, seminars, food trucks, live animal acts or areas where people can congregate.
The inside area of the show will be held in the Wilmington Convention Center and falls under the State’s Retail Sales guidelines which allows attendance based on a square footage formula.
The outside portion of the show will follow Governor Cooper’s latest mass public gathering number at the time of the show. The good news for the boat show is that the expansiveness of the marina and the pier allows the ability to social distance and for areas/zones to be sectioned off and monitored closely to stay within the State Guidelines.
The Wilmington Boat Show
The Wilmington Boat Show launched September 9-11, 2016. The Port City is renowned as North Carolina’s most accessible coastal destination, nestled between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal gem will now be home to the annual Wilmington Boat Show produced by JBM & Associates, producers of the Charleston and Savannah Boat Shows. The Wilmington Boat Show is the largest of its kind between Annapolis, Maryland and Tampa, Florida.
This destination show will take place in several different venues including the Port City Marina, and Wilmington Convention Center.
