Events This Weekend in Delaware and Maryland

May 18, 2023

We're just a few days now from Memorial Day Weekend and the start of the 2023 summer season at the Delaware and Maryland beaches, and the events calendars are really kicking into high gear.

We've got a nice selection of things to tell you about this week in locations from Wilmington to the north all the way to Ocean City, Maryland, to the south. And a whole lot of areas in between.

It should be a great weekend to get outside and enjoy all that the region has to offer.

So let's get right to it, shall we? Here are the Oldfather Group's top choices for the weekend of May 19-21...
