Running Friday through Sunday and in its 4th consecutive year, Wilmington's Grand Prix is a 'national racing calendar event' with US Cycling, and fills in the gap left behind by the old Tour DuPont.
There are actually several racing events taking place, including a Monkey Hill Time Trial, men's events, women's events, kid's events, the marquis race that the weekend is named for, and a governor's race from Wilmington to Dover.
It's far from just racing, though. A street festival will place DJs and live music on every block and will include family rides and activities, sidewalk sales, bike and skateboarding demonstrations, and vendors from Rodney Square to the Delaware History Museum on Market St. On Saturday night, race after-parties will be held at Chelsea Tavern, Deep Blue, Vinoteca 921, Public House, and the Queen Theatre.
Definitely check out the website, because there is way more going on with this event than I can list:
