Downtown Sundown Concert Series
Downtown Sundown Concert Series enters 13th season in 2018 

ILM citizens always look forward to this summertime concert series! Here is information on last year’s event from ‘Wilmington Downtown Incorporated’:

“Wilmington’s signature summertime concert series returns for its 12th season at Riverfront Park in front of the Federal Courthouse.  The Downtown Sundown Concert Series will run each Friday night from May 26 through September 1, 2017.  The free concerts are from 6:30 to 10pm and feature both local performers and touring bands.  Wilmington Downtown Incorporated (WDI) is the concert producer.

The Downtown Sundown Concert Series is a free, family friendly event that attracts both local residents and out of town visitors.  The concerts are designed to provide interesting and fun entertainment for attendees, spur interest and activity to Downtown during the early evening hours and to raise funds for WDI’s downtown development programs.  Last year, over 26,000 people attended the concerts.

The ‘Downtown Sundown Concert Series’ is offering a local Wilmington charity the opportunity to make some serious money (a split of the proceeds from wristbands sold during the series).
