City Loop Series History

Originating in 1979 with the Halloween Loop, the Loop is a citywide party in which club patrons pay a one-time cover charge to visit nightspots throughout Wilmington. The majority of Loops are roaming costume parties, with patrons dressing for the theme (Ugly Sweater, ‘70s, St. Patrick’s Day). The long standing Loop Series tradition is one of Wilmington’s most-enduring nightlife traditions and regularly draws thousands of people to Wilmington.
