We’ve all heard the complaint “there’s nothing to do in Wilmington.” This summer, there is a simple answer: “3rd Fridays.”

Each 3rd Friday of June, July & August, downtown will come ALIVE with music, food, and fun. Main Street Wilmington will be hosting a fantastic 3rd Fridays concert series in the Mural Parking Lot, and to celebrate, Buy Local First businesses will be offering an exciting array of events and promotions.

Below is the lineup for June, but this is just the beginning. To make sure you get all the latest updates on events and promotions from Buy Local First, make sure you sign up for our e-mail list and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
