WILMINGTON This weekend 7,200 people are projected to be at Live Oak Bank Pavilion at Riverfront Park each night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as it welcomes its first national touring act, Widespread Panic. With the possibility of 21,000-plus Spreadheads (WSP fans) adding to the influx of tourists visiting in summer’s peak season, bars and businesses are bracing for impact.
Many have planned before and afterparties.
Hop Yard Wilmington, which sits seven blocks away from the amphitheater on Grace Street, is expecting spillover all weekend long. Owner Christian Stoner said he has increased staff and inventory to meet demand.
