Pleasure Island (Carolina Beach and Kure Beach) Summers 'officially' begin with the weekly fireworks display the Friday before Memorial Day and then continue every Thursday evening until the final fireworks show the Friday before Labor Day.  The best place to view this Thursday spectacular show is on the beach strand located in front of the historic Carolina Beach Boardwalk, where live music plays at the Gazebo stage. So 'pack up' the family and head to the Boardwalk in Carolina Beach.  The music usually starts at 6:30 PM followed by the fireworks at 9 PM. Please check their Website and Social Media for latest updates.  Additional details available closer to the event
