Help Us Celebrate!
25 Years!
In 1995, the Riverfront Development Corporation was created to oversee the growth and restoration of the public and private land surrounding the Christina River. Now, celebrating our 25th anniversary, Riverfront Wilmington has become one of the area’s most vibrant and exciting destinations to live, play, and work. Once a largely abandoned and destitute former shipbuilding community, the riverfront is now teeming with residences, hotels, restaurants and indoor and outdoor attractions. As we enter our 26th year and beyond, the Riverfront Development Corporation is thrilled to continue the expansion of the Riverfront area as we move to the east side of the river. We can’t wait to celebrate everything Riverfront Wilmington has to offer with you all year long!
