(Wilmington StarNews)- It’s the first full weekend of a new year, and while the schedule is pretty light on events for the most part, there’s still plenty going on. From a ’70s disco pop dance party and good local music to quality touring comics and even a flower/art show, there’s plenty of fun to be had in Wilmington.
Given that COVID-19 is widespread in our area, it’s recommended that you wear a mask, especially for indoor events.
