Introducing Curbside Wilmington & Free Valet Parking

11 Jun 2020

Downtown Visions together with Mayor Purzycki, the City of Wilmington, and The Committee of 100 is happy to announce that “Curbside Wilmington” will begin this Friday, June 12th in Downtown Wilmington DE. It is a new initiative designed to support local businesses and encourage patrons to return to the rejuvenated Downtown District this summer. “Curbside Wilmington” will enable Downtown restaurants to expand their outdoor dining into former parking spaces directly in front of their businesses, thereby allowing more seating at safely spaced distances in accordance with Governor Carney’s guidelines. Also, curbside pull-in spots have been designated throughout the Downtown area for all businesses, both retail and restaurants, to use for pick-up and curbside delivery.

In addition, the 800 block of Market Street will be closed every Friday starting this week, June 12th for a block party with entertainment. The event will take place from 5pm-9pm but the block will be closed to traffic from 8am-10pm.
