Hop Yard is located at 108 Grace Street, one of the first streets in downtown proper that is seven blocks from Riverfront Park. (Port City Daily photo/Shea Carver) WILMINGTON This weekend 7,200 people are projected to be at Live Oak Bank Pavilion at Riverfront Park each night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, as it welcomes its first national touring act, Widespread Panic. With the possibility of 21,000-plus Spreadheads (WSP fans) adding to the influx of tourists visiting in summer’s peak season, bars and businesses are bracing for impact. Many have planned before and afterparties. Hop Yard Wilmington, which sits seven blocks away from the amphitheater on Grace Street, is expecting spillover all weekend long. Owner Christian Stoner said he has increased staff and inventory to meet demand. For instance, he purchased more Fiddling Fish’s Space Angler (a play on the Panic song “Space Wrangler”) than he normally would carry in his bottle shop.
