About Cornhole Tournament
Cornhole has become one of Wilmington’s favorite excuses to get outside, grab a drink, and talk a little smack with friends — and Seven Mile Post’s weekly tournament is where a lot of that rivalry plays out. The format keeps things simple and social: pay your $10 buy-in, get bracketed up, and see how far your bag-tossing skills carry you. It’s casual enough for first-timers who’ve never picked up a bag, but competitive enough that regulars take their seeding seriously. Either way, expect a laid-back crowd, a midweek energy boost, and plenty of cheering from the sidelines.

About Seven Mile Post
Seven Mile Post is Wilmington’s go-to bar for events that don’t take themselves too seriously — cornhole on Wednesdays, trivia and shag dancing later in the week, and live music most weekends. Located at 7219 Market Street, the bar keeps The Xtra Mile’s kitchen open for bar food that ranges from classic apps to something a little healthier, so you’re covered whether you’re playing all night or just watching from a barstool with a cold drink in hand.

Good to Know Before You Go
Arriving a few minutes before 7 PM is a good idea if you want to make sure you’re entered into the bracket before the first round gets underway. Bring cash or a card for the $10 buy-in, and don’t worry if you’ve never played competitively before Seven Mile Post’s cornhole crowd is far more interested in a fun night than a serious league. Parking is available right on site at 7219 Market Street, and The Xtra Mile’s kitchen stays open through the whole tournament if you need to refuel between matches.

Cornhole has grown from a backyard pastime into one of the most popular bar sports in the country, and Wilmington is no exception. Part of the appeal is how accessible it is there’s no steep learning curve, no expensive equipment to buy, and no reason a first-timer can’t hang with a longtime player on a good night. Seven Mile Post’s weekly tournament captures that spirit perfectly, turning a simple bag toss into a genuine community event where regulars know each other by name and newcomers are welcomed into the rotation without hesitation.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
A $10 buy-in is a small price for a night of competition, laughs, and the chance to walk away with bragging rights for the rest of the month. Cornhole Tournament night draws a mix of regulars and new faces, so it’s an easy way to meet people while doing something more interesting than just standing around. Grab a partner, get your bag-toss form warmed up, and come see if September is your month to take the title.
