City Restaurant Week 2106 – Wilmington

Wilmington’s fine dining scene is marked by a distinguishing characteristic: It is dominated by owner-operators. In other words, there is not a chain restaurant in the bunch. So each spring, when those restaurateurs team to present City Restaurant Week, they view it as a personal invitation. It’s the equivalent of your neighbor inviting you for dinner.

Wilmington Blue Rocks vs Potomac Nationals

Spectacular post-game fireworks illuminate the Wilmington Riverfront for the first time in 2016 on Friday, April 8. The Blue Rocks host the Potomac Nationals with an explosive, can’t-miss fireworks show immediately following the final out of the game!

Relaxicon

A weekend long event where you can participate in one game, run a gaming event, or attend the whole weekend! You can just come, be social, and relax too! (It is called Relaxicon after all.)
