Greater Wilmington offers exhilarating theatre and concert performances in historic venues, such as the DuPont Theatre, The Grand, and The Queen. Add to that ballet, opera, comedy, Shakespeare, many ethnic and music festivals, and outstanding fine dining, and Greater Wilmington will light up your nights.
