FEAST WILMINGTON IS DEDICATED TO CULTIVATING A COMMUNITY WHERE FOOD AND BEVERAGE ENTHUSIASTS COME TOGETHER TO LEARN, CONNECT, AND FEAST THROUGH IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES AND INSIGHTFUL CONTENT.
IT’S RARE THAT AN EVENT WITH SO MUCH EXPECTATIONS, BUT I CAN SAY FEAST NOT BEYOND. EVERYONE I TALKED TO AT THE BY THE FOOD, DRINKS & ENTERTAINMENT.
