Welcome to the weekly Port City Life newsletter brought to you by me, StarNews reporter John Staton.
You know, February in Wilmington is an interesting time. The beaches and the AirBnBs are mostly empty, but the entertainment calendar is increasingly full, which is a great thing for those of us who are locals and looking to get out and about.
As always, I’ve got a robust list of entertainment options for you to peruse, as well as a quick look at the Wilmington food scene and links to some good reads.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you this weekend.
Weekend weather outlook
Forecast for this weekend is, just, incredibly tolerable. Overcast and cool (50s), but not too cold (30s), with a low chance of rain (less than 10%). Clouds clearing out on Monday, just in time to start the work week 😁
Go | See | Do
It’s a very busy weekend in the Wilmington area .
You’ve got three play comedies to choose from (“Steel Magnolias” and “Dearly Departed” at Thalian Hall, Neil Simon’s “Rumors” at UNCW), as well as a selection of touring concert acts bringing a variety of styles to big rooms and small.
