Downtown Wilmington has always boasted a vibrant night life and a diverse music scene, which adds to the city’s tourist attraction in the summer. But even as the days get cooler and the tourists head home, the live music of the city keeps bumpin’. Every night offers dozens of artists at a great selection of venues, and sometimes it’s hard to decide which ones to check out! Here are a few handpicked suggestions out of the many shows coming to us this fall!
