Several Great Events Featured This April Weekend in Delaware, Maryland and Southeastern Pennsylvania
You know it's getting close to the warm weather season when local events and gatherings begin popping up on the calendar in bunches. And boy, do we have a number of great things to tell you about for this final full weekend of April!
Today's oversized Weekender blog is jam packed with fun and family friendly events in locations ranging from the Delaware and Maryland beaches to northern Delaware, the Annapolis region and more.
There's so much to tell you about, in fact, that we're going to keep this introduction short, concise and to the point. I mean, you came here to hear about the events anyway, right?
So let's get right to it then and prepare for a fun filled weekend at and near the coastal region.
Let's begin in the "Quiet Resort" of Bethany Beach, Delaware:
Ocean to Bay Bike Tour (April 23-24)
This is one of coastal Delaware’s premier spring events and features hundreds of bicyclists completing one of five courses – either a 10-mile, a 30-mile, a 50-mile, a metric century or a century route.
This used to be a one-day only event, but organizers now offer the Friday "coastal cruise," featuring a fun ride along Route 1 to the Indian River Inlet Bridge and back. This ride costs $35 and benefits the Center for the Inland Bays.

Organized by the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce, this award-winning local event is held rain or shine and will only be cancelled in the event of extreme weather. All routes begin and end in Bethany Beach and, as always, completion of the route is not mandatory.
