Riverfest is this weekend

WILMINGTON — If you’re looking for some good food, a lot of fun and live entertainment downtown Wilmington is the place to be this weekend.

Riverfest 2007 will be in full swing Saturday. Thousands of people will be at Wilmington’s downtown riverfront to enjoy live music, fireworks and shopping.

And if you’re hungry you can choose from dozens of different food vendors.

With the influx of people in the area the manager of Kilwin’s Ice Cream and Chocolates expects business to be booming.

Kilwin’s manager Charlie McCaskill said, “A lot of it depends on the weather. If it’s hotter weather people want the ice cream and they’ll line up for it. If it’s a little cooler being October you take a chance. I think this weekend is going to be great.”

Riverfest isn’t just about business. The festival gives people from surrounding areas a chance to see everything downtown Wilmington has to offer.

Riverfest 2007 is this Saturday and Sunday.
