About Shine A Light
Shine A Light is an annual benefit concert that has been held on the main stage at the Queen Theater in Wilmington since 2012. One of the hottest nights of the year, this fundraiser features 60-70 of the area’s best musicians performing the top hits from a featured year. Shine A Light is well-attended by music lovers from all over the tri-state area and has sold out every year it has been held.

- Kingswood Community Center
