PCJ Fri Feb 13: Valentine’s Weekend + A Chance to Rally Together
Love songs, punk rock, birthday beats — and a reason to show up for our community.
Happy Valentine’s Weekend, Wilmington ❤️

From a vinyl Valentine’s dance party downtown to a punk rock flea takeover and a birthday celebration filled with music and art — the city is showing up in full color.
And in true Wilmington fashion, we’re also coming together for something bigger than a night out. More on that below 👇️

Valentine’s weekend is about love — and that includes love for your community. Tonight at Satellite Bar and Lounge, Sloppy Copy takes the stage for a benefit supporting the Alec Chambers Scholarship Fund.
