Lewes Historical Society to host 53rd Outdoor Antiques Show at ferry terminal Aug. 6
The Lewes Historical Society is celebrating the 53rd anniversary of its Outdoor Antiques Show set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 6, at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry Terminal, 43 Cape Henlopen Drive in Lewes. General admission is $5, and children under 12 are free. The proceeds benefit the society and are used in educational and preservation programming.
High-quality antiques dealers participate in the show, featuring 18th century to early 20th century antiques. All pieces are authentic and represent a wide range of prices. There is something for every taste and every level of collecting sophistication at the show. "No two antique shows are alike. Our vendors bring their best antiques, so you can take home a real treasure," says Lewes Historical Society Events Coordinator Cindy Foster.
There will be delicious food, cool treats, and a kids' corner with entertaining activities. Dave Zipse will perform with his keyboard from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
"This antiques show is a Lewes institution. Many families plan their vacation time at the beach around this event. The antique dealers and visitors comment that they enjoy the traditional feel of the event as well as the ambiance of an outdoor show," says Lewes Historical Society Executive Director Mike DiPaolo.
