Fourth of July Events (Wilmington, Sunset Beach: live, beach, activities)

[grovesp13@atmc.net]

We are new to the area this summer and my family is coming down for the 4th
of July week. Can anyone respond to where any celebrations are going to be going on in the Sunset Beach, Calabash, area? Brunswick County or we even live close to North Myrtle Beach and Little River in South Carolina. There are going to be 9 of us so I don't want to travel too far. I would appreciate any responses or ideas to find this information out. I have checked the local papers and can't find any listings in my area of events that are planned.
I know when I lived in Maryland each town had their own fireworks, etc. They made a big ordeal on the 4th. They would schedule the activities so each town could commute to the other to see the festivities. Hope they have something like that down here. Will be waiting for some responses. Thank you very much! Happy 4th!
