Things To Do This Weekend In Delaware and Maryland
Fall Festival Season rolls on this week with another great weekend that's filled with family-friendly events at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
It's a great time of year to be at the beaches, particularly if you enjoy being outside in the crisp fall air and enjoying some of the best festivals and events of the calendar year.
The festival season continues for several more weeks, which means plenty of chances for getting outside and enjoying the area before winter sets in and we all head indoors until spring.
All that being said, here are our top events and festivals for the weekend of September 22-24, 2023. Have a great weekend everyone!
