Holidays in Southport

As the home of the official North Carolina 4th of July Festival, Southport , for over 200 years, visitors and locals have gathered here to enjoy a week-long lineup of parades, fireworks, live music, arts and crafts, and waterfront events that make Independence Day truly unforgettable.

As the seasons change, Southport’s magic only deepens. During Christmas, the town lights up with coastal holiday cheer, featuring festive boat parades, a winter wonderland of lights, and charming decorations adorning historic homes and oak-lined streets.
