Events This Weekend in Delaware and Maryland
While there isn't a whole to talk about this week in terms of annual events and festivals at the Delaware and Maryland beaches, there's still a lot going on throughout the region. It is still July after all!
And while this weekend looks to be a bit of a scorcher in terms of heat and humidity, there are still plenty of ways to remain cool and enjoy this special time of year at the beaches. Just drink lots of water, duck into the air conditioning from time to time, and take a dip in the swimming pool or ocean to cool off.
Most of our featured events for this final weekend of July take place in nearby towns and cities and we encourage you to pick your favorite and learn more. Or if you're remaining at the beach, keep scrolling below for our featured outdoor concerts, movies on the beach, and more for this coming weekend.
And don't forget the final days of the Delaware State Fair in Harrington. The 2023 state fair ends on Saturday night.
Whatever you choose to do, have a great weekend everyone! And be sure to join us again next week for more featured events and festivals at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
