Guide To New Year’s Eve in Wilmington

All the best events in Delaware are centered in two regions – Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington. For this reason, Wilmington is a wonderful place to live, with year-round activities centralized in the downtown core. Montchanin Builders’ luxury townhomes and condos are surprisingly affordable, given that residents are so close to all the action – especially during the holidays.

In today’s blog, we countdown some of our favorite New Year’s Eve activities. Whether you are single, married, or married with children, you’ll find the city of Wilmington has many events to choose from for your 2015 New Year’s Eve celebration.

New Year’s Eve for the kids

• Noon Year’s Eve Celebration at the Brandywine Zoo – Kids will enjoy sparkling cider and a noon countdown, as well games and crafts. The event takes place in the zoo, so you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of your favorite furry friends, too! Admission is only $5.
