No matter where you live, live the movies! We’ve got tips, tricks, addresses, and inspo for your pop culture-inspired travel and lifestyle.
Dawson’s Creek was one of my first favorite TV shows. It premiered when I was in middle school, so I was at the perfect age to be completely enamored with the lives and love stories of the Capeside crew. I’m also from New England, so I loved the vibe of the show’s setting and when I was old enough to visit the main filming location, Wilmington, NC, I rushed there. Visiting Wilmington and the Creek filming locations was actually the inspiration for this entire site!
Even though Dawson’s Creek has been off the air for more than 20 years, a lot of the show’s filming locations are still instantly recognizable and easily accessible in Wilmington. Scroll on for all the scoop!
Each of these playlists contain songs from the show that played during moments featuring the characters’ connections and love stories.
Some are iconic — “I’ll Stand By You” at the end of the pilot when Dawson yells to Joey that he usually “walks his dog” in he morning, with Katie Couric — and some more subtle, but all will bring you back to the moments shared by your favorite pairings.
