6 Great Southern Delaware Events Highlight the First Weekend of June
Now that Memorial Day Weekend has passed and we’ve all settled in for what promises to be a fantastic Summer of 2017, it’s time to look ahead once again, as we do every week, at some great local happenings coming up in southern Delaware.
And speaking of southern Delaware, just a quick reminder that we posted our New for 2017 blog last week. We featured some great new restaurants, new recreational facilities, a new outdoor concert venue and much more.
So, be sure to give it a read, and then print or save it for future reference. There are lots of great things planned for the 2017 season, and we want to make sure you get the most “bang for your buck” here in coastal Delaware.
Now, on to this week’s Weekender Blog, as always brought to you by the real estate professionals at the Oldfather Group of Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty.
Headlining this weekend’s collection of events is the inaugural Coastal Delaware Restaurant Week, with several of our regionally renowned eateries getting it on the fun.
Read much more about this below, as well as other great events coming up in the next few days. This includes the Bethany Beach Seaside Craft Show, the Dewey Color Runand several others.
And, as we post our “Weekender Blog” on Wednesdays, we’re also previewing a special event that will be held in the middle of next week in Dewey Beach.
Okay, let’s get right to it, shall we? Here are our choices for fun and exciting annual events this weekend at and near the Delaware beaches.
