Be Kind to Your Mind Festival and Fundraiser
Saturday, March 21 • 12-5 p.m.
UNCW Amphitheater • FREE!
Come together in a fun and safe environment to learn about and connect with the mental health resources that support a healthier, more resilient community. Shop from local artists (jewelry, pottery, woodworking, and more!), grab a bite to eat from local food trucks, and hear live music.

Bring a shelf-stable food donation to support the Good Shepherd Center and Hawk’s Harvest, UNCW’s food pantry for students who are experiencing food insecurity – and get a raffle ticket to win a gift basket!

Free parking is available in the Fisher Lot (615 Hamilton Drive).

Hosted by and supporting the UNCW School of Social Work.

Join the Wilmington Leo and Lions Clubs for the Blindfold Mile Challenge — a powerful, unforgettable experience.

Pair up with a friend and walk — or even run — one mile blindfolded, and discover what daily life can be like without sight.

Help raise awareness and funds for programs that support our visually impaired community.

Registration is open now. See Wilmington Leo or Lions Club on Social Media.

Join us Sunday, March 21st at noon at the UNCW Greene Track on Hamilton Drive.

Take the challenge — and help us make a difference.

The first event for Wilmington Peace Festival in 2026 is happening on March 21 from 3-4pm at Live at Ted’s! The event is called MANY VOICES and the local band, Striking Copper, will lead the audience in singing several peace songs together! 🌻

The goal of Many Voices is to celebrate peace songs of the past and bring them and their messages into the present moment, to unite in song and literally raise the vibration of peace! ☮️

Many Voices is a 1-hour event and will be filmed. We’re having it in the afternoon so that working musicians can be sure to attend! If you’d like to sponsor this event, please email us! Sponsorships help Wilmington Peace Festival continue to produce peace-driven and peace-centered events throughout the year! 🌻

The Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens is thrilled to launch its annual diaper drive to benefit the Diaper Bank of North Carolina.

During the month of March, local residents are encouraged to bring donations of diapers, packaged baby wipes, adult incontinence products, formula and other hygiene items to the Burgwin-Wright House. Although they remain one of the most basic and essential needs for children and their families, diapers and wipes still aren’t affordable for all those who need them. Through donations coordinated by its Lower Cape Fear branch, the Diaper Bank of North Carolina supports families that might otherwise have to choose between care for their children and food on the table. This year’s high-priority needs are infant diapers (sizes 4, 5, 6 and 7), toddler pull ups (sizes 3T/4T and 4T/5T), tampons, adult pullups (diaper-style with tabs are not accepted) and bed pads.

The Diaper Drive accepts opened and unopened packs of diapers and pull-ups for children and adults. Baby wipes, pantyliners, diaper cream and formula are also accepted, but must be brand new and unopened. Tab or diaper-style adult products are not accepted at this time. Donations can be dropped off March 1-31 in the Burgwin-Wright House visitor center Monday through Saturday between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. It is located at 224 Market Street, at the corner of Third and Market Street in downtown Wilmington.
