Events This Weekend in Delaware and Maryland
After pretty much a complete washout of last weekend's outdoor events, we try again this week as another round of popular fall festivals can be found on the events calendar for this final weekend of September.
Headlined by big events in Milford, Ocean City, Dewey Beach, and Lewes, this weekend again features some of the best festivals of the fall at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
It's a great chance to pick your favorite and enjoy the great outdoors one final time before the weather turns cooler and we all begin staying indoors more and more until next spring.
With that said, here are the Oldfather Group's top choices for family-friendly fall festivals during the weekend of September 29-October 1.
Make it a great weekend everyone!
Ladybug Music Festival (September 30)
This annual music festival in downtown Milford features a huge selection of female artists and is scheduled for 4 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 30.
This free festival features a total of seven stages located throughout town, with the main stage nestled in the closed-off section of downtown on Walnut Street.
Food trucks will be on-site for the event, so come hungry and enjoy some great local food while listening to a nice selection of fantastic female-led music.
In the case of rain, the festival will instead be moved to Sunday, October 1.
