Welcome to Wilmington BUZZ! 🐝

Welcome to the first edition of the Wilmington BUZZ!  

We’re excited to bring you a fresh way to stay connected with life in Greater Wilmington. Each edition will feature local events, hidden gems, dining spots, and community stories that showcase the energy of our community.

 

To start, you can expect a few editions each month — more often than monthly, but not so often it clutters your inbox. As our community grows, so will the Buzz, with new features, spotlights, and surprises along the way.

 

Stay tuned, and thanks for being part of the very first issue of Wilmington Buzz! 🐝
