“ New to Delaware or seeking something exciting to do? Look no further than The Garden, a tranquil oasis nestled in the heart of Wilmington. This vibrant space brings together the diversity of the city, offering unforgettable experiences for all. I recently attended the 'We Found Love' event hosted by @Sondaeblu on Insta: during First Thursdays at The Garden and had an incredible time! The venue reached capacity by 8pm, so arriving early is a must. From delectable food to delightful drinks and sensational music, it was a night to remember. I discovered talented DJs like @macwondo and @b.smithsonian14, whose sets kept the energy high throughout the evening. Mark your calendars for the next First Thursday on 6.6.24 – you won't want to miss it! Follow The Garden on Instagram for updates: @TheGardenWilm & @TodayWeFoundLove on Instagram.
