Wilmington is a fun town for a weekend music getaway 🎶





🏨 Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center
Aloft Wilmington is located right next to the Riverwalk. Aloft is a cool Marriott Bonvoy brand that is designed for social travelers. Marriott Bonvoy perks make traveling easy and affordable, and we got our night here for free (!!) This property features a rooftop bar (so cool!) for evening cocktails and a fantastic local coffee bar with fresh, homemade pastries for the morning.
🎵 Greenfield Lake Ampitheater
 Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is the coolest small venue in the Carolinas for a show. Trees and a lake create a cool, natural environment around the small amphitheater. The concert feels like a private show. Parking isn’t an issue, you don’t have to fight crowds, you choose your own seats.
Summer shows include:
- St. Paul and the Broken Bones
- Rodrigo y Gabriela
- Straight No Chaser: Yacht Rock Tour
- Tommy Emmanual
- See the schedule
🎵 Live Oak Bank Pavilion at Riverfront Park
Live Oak Bank Pavilion is a much larger amphitheater in Wilmington.
Summer shows include:
- Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
- Boys II Men
- Dave Matthews Band
- Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue And Ziggy Marley
- Phish
- Darius Rucker: Starting Fires Tour
- Tyler Childers
- Tedeschi Trucks Band
- See the schedule



🍴 Satellite Bar & Lounge
Grab tacos and craft beers at Satellite Bar & Lounge, about a five-minute drive from the amphitheater. The outdoor area has picnic tables and corn hole to entertain kids, the inside has a cool open feel with plenty of seating. All of the food is outstanding.
Cheers y’all!
