Wilmington Locals Get In The Holiday Spirit with RiverLights Holiday Festival of Homes
Over 800 cheerful Wilmington residents attended the RiverLights Holiday Festival of Homes and raced through the decorated Dashing Thru the Glow 5K course on Saturday, Dec. 2. As Wilmington's premier coastal community, Riverlights hosted this second annual holiday event to celebrate the merriment of the season for the Wilmington community to enjoy, while marking one year of the community’s official open.
Hundreds of locals came to cozy up by the fire pits and enjoy carolers, live music from local bands in Live Oak Commons, hot cocoa and cocktails and a delicious lunch buffet. Children didn’t pass up the opportunity to tell Santa Claus what was on their wish list for Christmas while they got their picture taken and played holiday themed-activities at the Kids Korner.
Attendees were in the holiday spirit and dressed up in Christmas-themed clothing as they raced through the holiday lights during the Second Annual Dashing Thru the Glow. Of course, Santa was there to cheer everyone on.
If you missed the holiday festival, not to worry! The Marina Village at RiverLights will light up every evening beginning at 5:30 p.m. for the Wilmington community to enjoy. To view more photos from the annual Holiday Festival of Homes, visit our Facebook.
