Wilmington's main tourist appeal is its large historic district situated on the Cape Fear River. Here you'll find a mile-long pedestrian stretch called the Riverwalk lined with cute shops, great seafood restaurants and hotels. Not far from the walk are the city's three main gay bars, so a lazy day by the river can fast turn into an energized night out. You'll get the feeling that this small town embraces its artsy side. Scattered about downtown are many historic sites, museums and theaters. In November Wilmington welcomes film buffs from near and far for the renowned Cucalorus Film Festival.
