Rims on the River is an annual event beginning June 8th through June 10th, featuring cars and motorcycles dating to 1980 and older lining the streets of historic downtown Wilmington, NC, with the Cape Fear River as their backdrop.
Festivities begin Friday, June 8th, with a taste of local entertainment and fun at our various partner venues, bars, and restaurants. Welcome to Rims weekend!

Participants parking is $10.00 in advance and applications can be obtained by clicking on our Car Participant page or $15.00 the day of the show (based on space remaining). If you wish to park near a friend, you must arrive together, no spaces will be held.
Awards are presented at approximately 4:00, at the intersection of N. Front St. and Chestnut, in front of the Post Office. We are also bringing back last year’s Pin Up Contest which was a blast! Perfectly Pinned Up will be hosting this fun event that actually helps raise funds for the Semper Fi Fund.
