THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE THAT CELEBRATED WITH US!

ABOUT OUR EVENT

The 2023 Thunderbolt Blessing of the Fleet was proudly presented by the Town of Thunderbolt along with numerous community sponsors and partners. Celebrated now as a family-friendly festival, this time-honored tradition pays tribute to Thunderbolt’s local shrimping and fishing industries; offering live music, a morning parade, vendors, food trucks, beer garden, children’s activities, raffle prizes and of course, the fleet blessing, conducted by Bishop Parkes from the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. The blessing took place Saturday, April 29, 2023 on The Bluff, along our beautiful Wilmington riverfront.
