Tenth Annual Grand Prix

Thousands of cyclists and fans are coming to Wilmington for the 10th Annual Wilmington Grand Prix!  This event has grown from a regional bicycle race to one of the premier cycling events on the East Coast. 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. 

May 13 - 15, you will want to come out to see these truly awesome athletes as they make their way through Downtown Wilmington and the surrounding area.

Here's some great photos from Leslie W. Kipp from previous years:

I hope you can come out and join in the fun! Click Here to learn more.

Wilmington welcomes "Jersey Boys"

"Jersey Boys" is the Tony Award winning musical that tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

The show is coming to The Playhouse on Rodney Square May 10 -15, and the star of the show, Russell Fischer, came to town early to check the city out.

He was also kind enough to sit down and share his experiences and his views on Wilmington - here's the video:

I hope you get to take advantage of the incredible talent that is brought to Wilmington on a regular basis.

Wilmington is in the center of Arts and Culture

I want to pass along this message from our friend Brendan Cooke, Executive Director at OperaDelaware:

Please join OperaDelaware for the historic East Coast Premiere of Franco Faccio's lost Hamlet, and Verdi's Falstaff. Our first ever grand opera festival is attracting press attention from all over the world. So far, over 500 people are attending from outside a 30 mile radius of Wilmington, and almost 700 attendees who are new to our patron base. We'd obviously love to have the critics from Paris, Milan and London see full houses.

I continue to be impressed with the truly incredible talent that Wilmington attracts. I hope you'll join me in enjoying these beautiful and powerful productions!
