Members of the Friends of the Battleship North Carolina and their guests have the opportunity to watch the City of Wilmington's annual fireworks display from the decks of this impressive ship on Thursday, July 4th.
Members may order up to the number of tickets allowed based on their membership level. Only current members of the Friends of the Battleship North Carolina will be eligible to order tickets. Expired memberships must be renewed at least seven (7) days before requesting tickets.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of work being done on the Battleship Memorial grounds associated with the Living with Water project, especially in the parking lot, space available for parking this year is limited to only 150 vehicles. As a result, carpooling by members and their guests is not just encouraged this year, it will be necessary.
The ensure maximum participation in this ever-popular event only one (1) parking pass will be issued to members receiving tickets. That means members and their guests will need to arrive in a single vehicle or find other means of transport to the Battleship for the event (e.g., Uber, Lyft, etc.).
Parking passes will be emailed to members the week before the July 4th event. If construction progresses enough to allow for a greater number of vehicles, additional parking passes will be issued on a case-by-case basis.
