Share Your Thoughts With Us

We're looking for information only you can provide.

We want to know how you find out about events in our Downtown area, what kind of events you'd like to see happen, and, if you're willing, a little information about you.

We have a very brief (3 - 5 minute) survey online, you can skip questions and you can share ideas and inspirations - we're going through all of the feedback and figuring out the best ways to communicate with everyone and provide exceptional service downtown.

Click Here to take this brief survey.

Please feel free to share this with friends, neighbors, and colleagues who live, work, and/or enjoy our Downtown Wilmington.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing you Downtown.

The Ladybug Music Festival attracts some of the top talent from our region and brings it all to Downtown Wilmington for a night of music and celebration.

The 2015 Ladybug Music Festival is shaping up to be one of the best!

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!
