THE 100

Overview

Carolina Beach is turning 100 and you do not want to miss the party!

THE 100 is the kickoff Gala for the Carolina Beach Centennial celebrating our beach town's 100th birthday in the historical church building now known as Kindred Weddings and Events.

Join us for a delicious spread of 1925's inspired appetizers brought to you by Salt & Charm and an open bar serving wine, beer and specialty cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth, you will love the Candy Station, sponsored by Eva and Kendrick McMahan, filled with chocolate bars and other desserts introduced in the 1920's.

The Earth Tones sponsored by Reef Retreat MedSpa will entertain you with Jazz and other classics from decades past. We will have several photo stations- Karen Parrish is sponsoring the 360 Booth and Bobby Price with Keller Williams is sponsoring our Art Deco Set with a professional photographer to capture your glam moments!

For more fun, we added a Spirit Wall. $20 gets you the chance to win a bottle of wine or liquor with a value of over $20. Everyone wins!

Free Parking will be available at Kindred that evening- first come, first served.

Keepsake Program with a Centennial Schedule of Events will be yours to take home.

What to wear? We encourage all guests to Dress Up in your finest Cocktail attire (not Gatsby costumes)- and we would love to suggest wearing white, black, gold and/or red. Let's get FANCY!

We will open the space up at 8:15 pm - 9 pm to the public with a No Host Bar and the band will play until 9 pm.

As a kick off to Pleasure Island Restaurant Week, our local Bars and Restaurants will be open later to accommodate any after-parties and offer Centennial Specials. We will publish the participating specials on our social media pages as they become available.

We would like to thank all our sponsors for supporting the Centennial Committee and all the events planned throughout 2025. A special Thank You to the Town of Carolina Beach and the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce.
