At River Bluffs, Wilmington’s popular riverside village community, we LOVE spring! Everything is blooming, the temperatures are warming up and the area is alive with activity! The month of May begins the kick-off to the summer season around here and there’s a ton going on in the downtown Wilmington area – which is just 10 minutes from River Bluffs!
Here’s a list of five things not to be missed this month in downtown ILM!
May Happenings in Downtown Wilmington, NC
Riverfront Farmers’ Market
Every Saturday | 8am – 1pm
Located along the Cape Fear River in Historic Downtown Wilmington, the curbside market features the best local farmers, producers, artists and crafters in the area. You’ll find fresh – and local — fruits and berries, vegetables, plants, herbs, flowers, eggs, cheeses, meats, seafood and so much more!
Tour El Galeon
Saturday, May 14 – Sunday, May 15th | 10am-6pm
The El Galeon has returned to downtown Wilmington this year! Take a step back in history and tour this tall ship – a replica of a type of ship that sailed for the Spanish crown from the 16th through the 18th centuries in search of trade routes.
Rims On The River Car Show
Saturday, May 21st | 11am-5pm
Are you a fan of classic cars? Then this event is FOR YOU! Nearly 700 classic cars dating 1980 and older will be on display for you to drool over! This event has grown into a premier show, drawing a wide array of cars from the entire southeast region, as well as a few neighboring states!
WILMA Dash
Thursday, May 26th | Start time at 6:30pm
The WILMA Dash is Wilmington’s ONLY All-Female 5K race! Last year, 1,000 women participated because it’s a great event for first-time runners, walkers, and for seasoned runners looking for a personal best time. After the race, visit the After Party and Women’s Health Fair, which features catered food, drinks, music, health screenings, fitness assessments and much more!
Downtown Sundown Concert Series
Kicks off Friday, May 27th | 6pm-10pm
Summer wouldn’t be complete without Downtown Sundown! Back for its 11th season, the free concerts happen every Friday night through September, from 6 to 10pm. You’ll love the line-up of local performers and touring bands. The event is free, family-friendly and a lot of fun! Check out the schedule here and pick your favorites!
At River Bluffs, we appreciate just how fortunate we are to call southeastern North Carolina home. We’ll be celebrating spring and ALL the downtown Wilmington happenings with friends and family – we hope to see you around town!
