Shop Small. Ship Free. Celebrate Wilmington.

This holiday season, Downtown Wilmington is making it easier than ever to support the local businesses we love. Our popular Holiday Free Shipping Program is back—helping shoppers check off their gift lists while helping our downtown retailers reach customers near and far.

How It Works

When you shop at participating Downtown Wilmington businesses, your purchase can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. for free. That means:

• No lines.

• No hassle.

• No extra shipping costs.

• All the joy of shopping local.

Whether you’re sending a one-of-a-kind gift to family across the country or treating a friend right here at home, free shipping makes buying local the easy choice.

Why It Matters

Every dollar spent downtown fuels our community:

• It supports small business owners and their employees.

• It keeps storefronts active and vibrant.

• It strengthens Wilmington’s local economy during the most important retail season of the year.

By choosing downtown, you’re not just giving a gift—you’re giving back.
