Back in 1955, Bill Haley and the Comets used these lyrics to usher in the era of Rock n’ Roll, wowing audiences everywhere and making musical history. On Friday, April 16, at 8 p.m. at downtown Wilmington’s Coastline Conference and Event Center, the same culture-bending, hip-twisting, guitar-twanging history will be revisited in all its celebrity at The Carousel Center’s “Making Legends Local – Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and More” seventh annual live benefit performance.
The one-night-only event on Friday, April 16, will showcase the talent of local community and business leaders who assume the identities of various Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famers, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Queen, Janis Joplin, The Beatles and KISS.
The program begins at 8 p.m. and is preceded by a Red Carpet reception from 6 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person for the show and $100 per person for the receptions and preferred seating at the show. A limited number of tickets will be available for $25 per person. Tickets are available for purchase by calling The Carousel Center at (910) 254-9898.

A huge thank you to Inlet Watch for allowing us to use their grounds over the years, Matt Davis of Marine Copper Design for the beautiful plaques and Tex Tackle for donations and sponsorship.

Annual Lighthouse Beer Festival
August 9th, 2010Lighthouse Beer Festival At Greenfield Lake Amphitheater
The 9th Annual Beer Festival, hosted by Lighthouse Beer and Wine on October 15th, is changing venues to accommodate the burgeoning ranks of microbrew enthusiasts in the Wilmington area. After nine years at Hugh MacRae Park, the 2011 Lighthouse Beer Festival moves to a new venue 3400 Randall Parkway .
Owner and proprietor of Lighthouse Beer and Wine, Jason Adams, is excited about the new location. “Live music has always been a large part of the Beer Festival, and I know the new location will make the combined experience better than ever.” The festival has attracted an impressive list of bands over its history, including Eric Lindell, Ryan Bingham, and The Avett Brothers.
The Lighthouse Beer Festival draws almost 5000 beer enthusiasts from around the country for a single Saturday afternoon of tasting handcrafted microbrews from around the world. The event is from 1pm-5pm, with a limited number of VIP ticket-holders allowed in at noon. Free shuttle service is provided for festival goers after the event concludes. With nearly 100 breweries represented, the Lighthouse Beer Festival is the largest of its kind in eastern North Carolina.
While beer may be the star of the event, the focus is to raise money for charity. Over the past nine years, Lighthouse Beer & Wine has raised nearly $100,000 for The Carousel Center—a non-profit organization committed to aiding abused and neglected youth. With a new venue and growing community support, the festival hopes for its largest donation in the event’s history.
Tickets are on sale now at Lighthouse Beer & Wine in Wrightsville Beach, or online at LighthouseBeerAndWine.com.
** If your intersted in volunteering for the event, please contact April Scott at april.scott@carouselcenter.org.
