Whatever the season, our area is jam-packed with wonderful things to do, whether you visit our world-renowned museums and cultural attractions, stroll in our sumptuous public gardens, enjoy the cultures and delicious foods of our many festivals or explore one of our historic districts. You can have it all - from dinosaurs and seashells to tall ships and more. If it's music you enjoy, we go from cool to classical to hot jazz to blues, Gospel, folk and rock. Perhaps an ethnic festival strikes your fancy? We have Greek, Italian, Hispanic, African American, Chinese, Polish, and German to name a few. It's all here in Greater Wilmington, Delaware. The rebirth of our Christina Riverfront makes us more exciting than ever! You can cruise in one of our water taxis or stroll the 1.2-mile landscaped and lighted Riverwalk that takes you from The Shipyard Shops - an array of outlet stores that save you 20% to 70% every day - to our beautifully restored Amtrak station - which serves more than 700,000 passengers annually. Wilmington was the "last stop to freedom" on the Underground Railroad. Along the Riverwalk you can enjoy Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park (named for famed Underground Railroad Conductor Harriett Tubman and Stationmaster Thomas Garrett) or relax in small park-like areas overlooking the river and just enjoy the view. The Riverfront Market offers delicious specialty foods, fresh produce, flowers and much more from a variety of vendors. Dine in - or take out. And don't forget: shopping, dining and entertainment are tax free in Delaware! It's no wonder 5 to 6 million people from all over the nation and the world find their way to us every year for great weekend getaways, meetings, conferences, reunions and weddings! We look forward to welcoming you, too. |
