Summer 2021 is here and it brought some awesome live concerts with it!

Attending virtual concerts was the best we could do for a while there, but who else is ready to attend in-person concerts again? We know we are! Here is a directory of dates, places, and performers for 2021. Music is everywhere – the concerts in Wilmington can be found on mansion and garden lawns, patios of food places, and of course Wilmington’s newest concert venues – North Waterfront Park (2020) and Riverfront Park Amphitheater (2021)!

JAZZ at the Mansion

Honestly though, this sounds so relaxing. Jazz music + a mansion = count me in! These concerts take place at the Bellamy Mansion Museum on the lawn. All you need is yourself, some good company, and a lawn chair!  Every 2nd Thursday of every month June-September
