TEDxWilmington

Downtown Wilmington is hosting more and more events centered around ideas, innovation, and technology.

Next week, we get to experience TEDxWilmington.

TEDxWilmington has grown from a once a year event to include several TEDxWilmingtonSalons over the course of the year. The Annual TEDxWilmington Conference will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at the World Cafe Live at the Queen.  We have invited creators, catalysts, entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, designers, scientists, thinkers and doers to share at this all day conference what they are most passionate about - positive ideas for the world and Delaware.

I hope you can make it!

Reggae in the Square

Downtown Wilmington is the place to be for all music styles. We've seen Rock, Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop, Rockabily, Folk, and dozens of other great musical styles played throughout our downtown.

This Saturday, July 11, some talented Reggae artists will be performing on Rodney Square - we'll get to hear from artists like Lex A Million, Maine Gwap, Shane Koosong, and Jah Torius.

​The concert is free and open to the public.

I hope to see you there!

A Great Evening in the Plaza

What a great evening!

The Summer in the Plaza event at H.B. DuPont Plaza on Thursday night was truly incredible. There was live music, food trucks, games, and people of all ages coming together for a great time!

But don't just take my word for it, check out the collection of photos from people like Ivan Thomas with DeTV.

I hope you can come out to our next Summer in the Plaza event on August 6.
