Greater Wilmington Convention & Visitors' Bureau
People all across the country are recognizing Greater Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley as a great place to visit - and an even better place to call home. The region is a choice place to live. We're the home of nationally known attractions and museums, such as Winterthur Museum & Country Estate; Longwood Gardens; Nemours Mansion & Gardens; Hagley Museum; the Delaware Art Museum; and the Brandywine River Museum. You can enjoy a weekend getaway in your own backyard! Educational opportunities are plentiful from K – 12 as well as with the 21,000-student University of Delaware in nearby Newark. Your calendar will be filled year-round. Cultural events and festivals abound, such as the Italian, Greek and Jazz festivals in June; the Independence Day Freedom Celebration, Caribbean Festival and the Bob Marley People’s Festival in July; the Riverfront Blues and the August Quarterly Festival in August. And not to be missed - the Mushroom, Polish, Hispanic and German festivals in September. According to The Baltimore Sun, "Wilmington is undergoing a robust renaissance that makes it a prime destination . . . . It's got a waterfront that's becoming sleek and hip . . . a restaurant scene that's off the charts . . . and a thriving cultural arts community." We're the second smallest state in the Union, with 853,000 residents. But with our great location, easy access to the rest of the nation and the world, low taxes (no sales tax) and world-class attractions, it's no wonder people who are looking for a great place to live focus more and more on Delaware, The First State.
