Small Business Discount Program & Digital Map Participating small businesses physically located in nearby neighborhoods to the tournament (Wilmington Country Club) can offer discounts for those guests who present a tournament ticket. We will provide a printable logo and social media logo to indicate that business will offer some kind of special deal. The map will be promoted via QR code at the tournament and will list participating businesses and neighborhoods. Click here to register.
Small Business Night Market For those businesses who do not have a storefront or are located farther away from Wilmington, there will be a market space located behind Frawley Stadium at the Riverfront, for our small businesses to sell their products along with food trucks and entertainment. The Night Market dates are August 19th and 20th from 7pm to 10pm. There is a small fee to register for a table. Click here to register.
