Annual Outdoor Events Highlight Final Weekend of June in Coastal Delaware

June 21, 2017

It's hard to believe that June is already rushing toward it's conclusion, but here we are looking forward to events happening during the final full weekend of the month.

And we've got some great things on tap for the next few days here in the coastal region, including two of the most popular, and fun, events of the summer.

It's also a good time to highlight some of the outdoor events and concerts happening at the fabulous Freeman Stage at Bayside, near Fenwick Island. These fun evenings under the stars happen all season long, so be sure to check out the lineup on their website regularly.

Now let's get right to this weekend's events. We start in Lewes with what has quickly become one of the biggest and best local festivals of the summer season.

Mid-Atlantic Sea Glass and Coastal Arts Festival (June 24-25). Featuring nearly 100 sea glass artists, decoy carvers, waterfowl artists and much more, this event is now several years old and draws thousands of festival goers each June to Lewes. 

The festival will be held at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal, this Saturday and Sunday. As always, you'll find some of the world's most unique pieces of jewelry here and also have a chance to learn all about the unique art of collecting and transforming sea glass into works of art. 

This is definitely a fun event for everyone. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. To learn more about the Mid-Atlantic Sea Glass & Coastal Arts Festival, visit the Lewes Chamber of Commerce event page.

Running of the Bull (June 24). This is the 21st year for this wild and wacky annual event and, just as we've said before, this is something that you really need to experience at least once in your life. 

Extremely popular with the younger crowds, this event has been called the “state’s silliest” in the past and was even profiled by E! Entertainment Television as part of its “Ultimate Summer Bucket List” a few years ago. 

There's also a kids' run planned for this year, the 7th time the young ones have been invited to join in on the fun.

Ground zero for this FREE event is the Starboard on Route 1 in Dewey Beach. The craziness begins at 2 p.m.

Events at the Freeman Stage (June 23-25). One of the real jewels of coastal Delaware can be found near Fenwick Island, at the fabulous Freeman Stage at Bayside.

The venue holds spectacular shows and events throughout the summer season, so pick your favorite and head south for some great outdoor entertainment.

This weekend, the Freeman Stage hosts "Kashmir - the Live Led Zeppelin Show" on Friday and two shows on Saturday, "Cascading Carlos the Fire Juggler" in the daytime and the "Stray Cat Lee Rocker" in the evening.

And don't forget Jay Leno arriving on Friday night, June 30.
