Wilmington Riverfront Presents The Lunchtime Entertainment Series

If you were looking for a fun way to break up your day, the Wilmington Riverfront Presents The Lunchtime Entertainment Series.

The Wilmington Riverfront is already quickly becoming a high traffic area for local commuters. It's a great place to step outside of the office, walk around, enjoy the sights, take in some sunshine and get your steps in.

One thing that would make lunchtime even better, is if you added entertainment into the mix.

Imagine being able to step outside your office with your salad, sit on a bench and listen to some music!

Well, now you can.
