Just in time for Holidays on Water, viewers along the Wilmington Riverwalk in historic downtown will be treated to the spectacular Brilliant Battleship Holiday Lights! Beginning at dark and repeating until Light Show's end time. There will also be special Patriotic Light Shows shown on December 7 in honor of Pearl Harbor Veterans. Special times are set for New Years Eve and New Years Day. Best views are available along the Riverwalk, allowing unique photo opportunities. Battleship North Carolina and SECU Walkway are closed during this event. Some days delayed start until after the Christmas Tree Lightings.
