Leland Antique Car Show at Brunswick Forest
If you're a Baby Boomer, then you'll remember the days of the Studebaker, and the Chevrolet Bel Air convertible. And the thrill of going to the drive-in theater with your friends or your high-school sweetheart. For many Baby Boomers, classic car shows help to capture those moments of 50's and 60's nostalgia, when vintage Plymouths, Cadillacs, Pontiacs, and Lincolns owned the roads. And that's why Brunswick Forest, considered among the best neighborhoods in Wilmington NC, loves to host its annual Leland Under The Lights Car Show. Since 2003, Boomers have come to see this display of antique and muscle cars, and to enjoy the vibes in one of the best coastal towns in North Carolina.
Each year in August at the Leland Under Lights Car Show at Brunswick Forest, one of the top master planned communities in Wilmington, you can see the hottest classic cars from an iconic American era. And beyond cars, there are various vendors and restaurants to dine in at The Villages at Brunswick Forest. Admission to the festival is free, so keep your eyes and ears open for the show in 2017.
Apart from cool cars, there are plenty of reasons for Baby Boomers to choose Wilmington NC retirement. Situated on North Carolina's coast, Wilmington offers beautiful beaches, and countless outdoor activities. If you like boating, there are dozens of public marinas in the city for docking your boat, including Port City Marina, which is located only minutes from Brunswick Forest. And if you like fishing, swimming, or long walks on the beach, you'll find all of these things on a daily basis throughout Wilmington. Some of the other reasons its one of the best coastal towns in North Carolina, are the parks and gardens, mild climate, and seafood fresh from the sea.
For golf lovers, Brunswick Forest is one of the best neighborhoods in Wilmington NC, with 18 holes of championship golf on Cape Fear National Golf Course. Perhaps the most distinct feature of the community, Cape Fear is one of the coastal South’s most distinguished places to play.
