✨We were thrilled to roll out the red carpet for members of the Ohio Travel Association, who are in Clinton County for their annual meeting at the Roberts Centre!

Last evening, attendees enjoyed a little taste of Clinton County hospitality, beginning with a farm-fresh pig roast before heading downtown for a special visit to our historic The Murphy Theatre, Wilmington, Ohio.

Our Main Street Wilmington team was ready to greet guests as they arrived, with downtown dressed in its autumn best! 🍁 Visitors enjoyed a special 30-minute concert at the Murphy Theatre, courtesy of Clinton County in Southwest Ohio and had an opportunity to experience the charm of our historic downtown.

We love sharing what makes Wilmington such a special place to visit, shop, dine, and explore.

Thank you to the Ohio Travel Association for spending part of your evening with us. We hope you enjoyed your visit and will come back soon!

Wilmington, Ohio is THE Place to Be! ❤️

📆On November 28, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., the annual HomeTown HoliDazzle parade, presented by TimberTech lights up downtown with a festive evening of music, sparkling displays, and hometown hospitality.
