Each 3rd Friday of June, July & August, downtown will come ALIVE with music, food, and fun.

Wilmington Walk/Ride Days
With the the start of summer rapidly approaching community members now have the opportunity to lace up their tennis shoes and hop on their bikes – leave those car keys at home!
Starting Friday, June 19–and continuing the 3rd Friday of each month–you have the chance to join community members in Walk/Ride Wilmington days by using a sustainable form of transportation–walking, riding a bike, or carpooling (we realize that walking or riding isn’t possible for everyone!)–to commute to work and run your errands. Besides collectively experiencing Wilmington in a way you might not have done so before, you can do something healthy for your body and promote green awareness and sensibility.
Walk/Ride Wilmington will be held in conjunction with the 3rd Fridays Downtown Alive Concert Series where residents can connect with the community through business open houses and capture the truly unique characteristics of the local economy. At 8 o’clock on the 19th join Main Street Wilmington for food, festivities and jazz music in the Mural Parking Lot. Commit to a greener lifestyle and healthier community by walking, biking or carpooling every 3rd Friday!
Walk/Ride Day was inspired by the Green Streets Initiative which developed the program to raise awareness and reduce the environmental impact of vehicles. Energize Clinton County has introduced this concept to the area in an effort to reinforce the sustainability of the local economy while encouraging a more environmentally conscientious outlook. By participating in Walk/Ride Wilmington individuals could not only shrink their carbon footprint but simultaneously reconnect with the offerings of the Wilmington area.
By committing to walking or riding your bike:
- You could eliminate about 10 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every 10 miles you don’t drive
- You can burn 100 calories for every 1 mile you walk
- Get to your destination faster! Biking is the fastest mode of transportation for trips under 3 miles.
Plan to leave your car at home on the 3rd Friday this month?
Make your commitment here, and tell us about your plans for greening our streets!!
