Small businesses and entrepreneurs in Wilmington will have an exciting opportunity to showcase their work at the upcoming Community Vendor Expo, scheduled for Saturday, May 17.
The event aims to celebrate local talent and foster stronger ties between residents and business owners.
The Vendor Expo will feature a diverse array of local vendors and serve as a platform for networking, community building, and economic empowerment.
There is no cost to participate for those with a city of Wilmington business license.

Vendors without a license can obtain a temporary permit for just $10.
The event is intended to be a day where the community comes together in support of Wilmington’s entrepreneurs, showcasing what makes the city vibrant and unique.
All vendors must be self-contained, and those selling food with grease-based preparation will need to provide a $100 refundable deposit.
The deposit ensures vendor spaces remain clean and that grease is properly disposed of.
Key dates to remember include:
– Vendor Application Deadline: Tuesday, April 29
– Vendor Approval Notifications: Tuesday, May 6
– Vendor Expo: Saturday, May 17
Interested vendors can apply online and are encouraged to act quickly as space is limited. For more information, contact Ashley Christopher at [email protected].
The city invites all residents to attend and help celebrate Wilmington’s thriving small business community.
