Get ready for Richard Raw Week in Wilmington

Our friend, Richard Raw, consistently pours himself into the local community, provides quality entertainment, and mentors young people throughout the city.

The week of June 4-11 is Richard Raw Week, with concerts, block parties, film screenings, and more planned throughout the week.

I hope you will bring your family and friends out to these great community events.

This year’s race will be the eighth stop on USA Cycling’s Pro Road Tour and will attract pro cyclists from around the world.

Downtown Wilmington Celebrates Shakespeare Day

Lunchtime on Market Street on Friday provided a real treat as the Delaware Shakespeare Festival coordinated a production of all of Shakespeare's plays in under an hour using more than 50 people from our community.

All of this took place in front of The Grand Opera House - and I would dare say we had participation from people from all walks of life and all of our great communities - artists, musicians, attorneys, business leaders, young, not so young, students, professionals, and more!

I am proud of our vibrant arts community in Wilmington - and I am proud that Downtown Visions helped sponsor and support this event.
