WILMINGTON – USA Today announced its 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest last month, and Wilmington, N.C.’s downtown Riverwalk immediately started racking up votes. On Friday, after four weeks of voting, winners were announced: Wilmington Riverwalk came in #2, right behind Detroit’s International Riverwalk in the Motor City in Michigan.
Downtown’s riverwalk spans almost 2 miles, and is a place where pedestrians can stroll to enjoy the Cape Fear River, meander through 200 shops, restaurants, attractions, and more.
“Wilmington, North Carolina is a destination on the rise, and this recognition as one of the nation’s Best Riverwalks is quite timely as we celebrate the completion of River Place and look forward to more grand openings later this year for the Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center and North Waterfront Park, with its open-air world-class concert venue managed by Live Nation,” Kim Hufham, president/CEO of the New Hanover County Tourism Development Au
WILMINGTON – Locals and tourists know the Port City s riverwalk is one of the best in the country, and now it s official.
On Friday, 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest, sponsored by USA Today, announced Wilmington placed second in its 2021 Best Riverwalk poll. The Port City was only beat one contender - Detroit s International Riverwalk.
This isn t the first time the city has earned such a distinction. Wilmington placed first in 10Best s 2014 contest to name the Best American Riverfront, a distinction it still touts in promotional materials today.
The second-place finish, out of the 10 finalists, is still a win for the city that is eyeing a major comeback in the coming months as tourists steadily venture out on vacation again after last summer s stay-at-home orders dampened the summer season due to COVID-19.
