Stars, Stripes & Wilson Nights

If your perfect Fourth of July weekend includes baseball, hot dogs, and fireworks, look no further. There’s no better place to celebrate than Wilson!

Cheer on the Wilson Warbirds during Red, White, & Warbirds Weekend at the Wilson Ballpark, then stick around as the sky lights up with fireworks after each game July 2nd through July 4th. While you’re celebrating America’s favorite pastime, make time to visit the North Carolina Baseball Museum and discover the rich baseball history that makes Wilson an even more exciting destination for fans of the game.

Of course, no baseball weekend is complete without a great hot dog! Grab one at the ballpark, stop by one of Wilson’s local favorites, or explore the many restaurants serving everything from barbecue and burgers to tacos, seafood, and sweet treats. Whatever you’re craving, you’ll find plenty of delicious ways to celebrate.

The patriotic fun continues on July 4th at the Wilson County Fairgrounds, where the annual Independence Day celebration brings the community together for food trucks, family fun, and a spectacular fireworks show to cap off the evening.

Whether you’re visiting for the weekend or looking for a memorable staycation, Wilson has everything you need for a star-spangled celebration.
