FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WILMINGTON, Delaware (July 12, 2022) – Locals and visitors can access discounts, deals and special offers at nearly 30 restaurants, shops and attractions through a new mobile discount pass offered by the Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The all-digital Wilmington & the Brandywine Valley Discount Pass can be downloaded at no cost from VisitWilmingtonDE.com. There are no special apps needed to use it. When visiting participating businesses, users simply download individual offers from the mobile pass-specific website bookmarked on their phones and present their phones to redeem the offers. The pass also includes an interactive map that enables people to search offers by geographic location.
The Wilmington & the Brandywine Valley Discount Pass will be available on an ongoing basis with no end date. Discount pass users should check back frequently as participating businesses can add or update offers at any time.

The event is expected to attract more than 130,000 spectators.
Jennifer Boes, executive director of the Bureau, said, “This mobile-exclusive pass is much easier to use and update than the former paper version.
