WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Downtown Wilmington’s summertime concert series is almost over. Tonight, Tuesday’s Gone, a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band hit the stage and rocked the crowd.
The final show will be Friday, Sept 2 with Departure, a Journey tribute band taking the stage.
The Downtown Sundown Concert Series presented by Outdoor Equipped runs each Friday night from May 27 through September 2. The free shows are from 6 to 10 p.m. and feature both local performers and touring bands.
The Downtown Sundown Concert Series is a free, family friendly event that attracts both local residents and out of town visitors. The concerts are designed to provide interesting and fun entertainment for attendees, spur interest and activity in Downtown during the early evening hours and to raise funds for WDI’s downtown development programs. Last year, over 26,000 people attended the concerts.
“This is a great, outdoor tradition for our community that offers a picturesque river setting,” said Andrew Gray, Chair of WDI’s Play Committee. “We are eager to start the new season and pleased to feature both returning and new performers this year,” he said.
Headliner Performance Schedule features various musical styles with an emphasis on tribute bands. All headlining acts are touring bands that will visit the region for their performance.
