The calendar turns to March this week, which means we're that much closer to the return of warm weather and the re-emergence of the Delaware and Maryland beaches as one of the go-to vacation spots in the mid-Atlantic.
Local activities and events calendars will begin picking up in earnest in the coming weeks, so keep checking here every week for previews of all the fun and exciting things coming up in the coastal region and beyond.
For this first weekend of March, we have a few great things to tell you about. Keep reading below for much more on what's coming up over the next few days in the area.
