WILMINGTON — Spring 2024 will be a feast in more ways than one at downtown’s Riverfront Park.
Wilmington Media and Marketing, which publishes the Wilmington Business Journal Wilma and Good Wilmington, is kicking off the inaugural Feast Wilmington from Mar. 22-24. There will be four events that take place throughout the weekend, celebrating area chefs, mixologists and culinarians.
In a press release, publisher Rob Kaiser calls it a “recognition and celebration of the Wilmington region’s emergence as a culinary destination.”
“This event is a natural evolution from the events we’ve produced for the Wilmington community the past 15 years, as well as our coverage of local restaurants, food and drinks in our publications and digital properties,” Kaiser said.
Events include:
• VIP Kickoff: Immersive chef tables, specialty drinks and music by the river for sponsors and All-Access ticketholders
• Brunch Elevated: Chefs and mixologists put their spin on Wilmington’s favorite meal. Fun for the whole family!
• Pier Party: A night out for couples, friends and colleagues to enjoy local seafood and other coastal delights
• Craft + Cuisine: Local breweries will work with chefs for unique, pairing experiences in a partnership with the Cape Fear Craft Beer Alliance
Tickets are $500 for an all-access pass; individual events are priced $100 to $150, with discounts available until Dec. 24.
The event’s Friday and Saturday celebrations will benefit the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC with Sunday’s Craft + Cuisine benefiting the Cape Fear Craft Beer Alliance.
The festival is being held in collaboration with Downtown Business Alliance, City of Wilmington, Wilmington and Beaches Convention & Visitors Bureau, Aramark, Matt Ray Photography, and web designer and developer Matt Dennis.
