SAVVY PROGRAMMING
On Friday evening, February 2rd, 2018 the Wilmington Wine & Chocolate Festival will again opens with a gala event,, The Grand Tasting, featuring the sampling and selling of wine and chocolate. Guests will be treated to live entertainment, and heavy hors d'oeuvres. Jurying of vendor booths takes place just prior to the opening and award presentations will take place during the evening. On Saturday, February 3 and Sunday, February 4, 2018, The Marketplace, with its large enthusiastic group of festival-goers, will follow. Demonstrations and other related programming will enhance — but not interfere — with the promotion and sales of your products.
TRACK RECORD
Our event has a thirteen-year history of success. With a following of dedicated festival-goers who have been eagerly anticipating this year's event, thousands of people of all ages will attend what has become a regional tradition.
VENUE
The Coastline Conference and Event Center is a charming downtown venue, well-appointed with conveniences and amenities that optimize the festival experience for both vendors and attendees. A thoughtful plan for good flow, use of space, and distribution of festival attendees throughout the weekend has been developed. A loading dock lift will be added this year. Plentiful parking, downtown attractions and adjacent lodging sweeten our new site.
PUBLICITY AND PROMOTIONS
A vigorous regional marketing plan includes the entire southeast coast. Strong state-wide media support and web exposure ensure record attendance again this year.
TIMING
With just two weeks until Valentine's Day, this event is the perfect place to sell products and take special orders for Valentine’s Day. The coast is usually sunny and cool, not cold — making it an ideal seasonal destination for vendors and festival guests.
AMENITIES
Contact us for discounted vendor accommodations.
