Friends of Wrightsville Beach would like to give a tremendous THANK YOU to Surfer’s Healing for loaning us their herd of tables for our Fins Up Festival silent auction! In addition to exhibiting again this year, they helped us in many ways! 👍🤙😎

THANK YOU to everyone who attended our 3rd annual Fins Up Festival yesterday at Wrightsville Beach Brewery!🤙🌴🎶🦜. As often happens this time of year, the rain gods visited & we had to cut our event short by a few hours due to 3-4+ inches of rain, some lightning & winds. The event was an over whelming success with a very strong turnout & incredible vibe!
We wish to thank everyone involved from our donors to our host, Wrightsville Beach Brewery to our tireless volunteers, exhibitors, musicians and generous local businesses that donated to our silent auction. It was wonderful to see our community coming together to support our nonprofit group & causes! Thanks go out to everyone involved! We appreciate it tremendously.
