Hemp-inspired event Botania coming to Wilmington in April

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A new hemp-inspired event is coming to Sycamore Bend Estate in Wilmington this spring.

Botania is scheduled for Sunday, April 19, 2026, and will feature hemp-derived beverages, wellness offerings, music, art, educational programming and local vendors.

Organizers say guests can also expect food, live entertainment and immersive experiences throughout the estate.

Founder Kimberly Rhine said the event was designed to create a welcoming space for education, connection and discovery as conversations around hemp continue to evolve in North Carolina.

“We wanted Botania to feel lush, welcoming, and a little transportive,” Rhine said. “It is a chance for people to experience hemp in a way that feels modern, thoughtful, and genuinely fun.”

Tickets are available in general admission, sips and VIP tiers. More information, ticketing and partnership opportunities can be found here.
