Wilmington–On August 18, 2012, from 5:30 p.m. to 9p.m. The Fabulous Esquires Big Band, will be performing on the front porch of the historic Banning Museum.

The concert includes dinner, dessert, dancing and dance lessons with a professional. Wine will be served. Reserved seating and VIP gated parking is $75.00.
