Events This Weekend in Delaware and Maryland

May 10, 2023

Now that the calendar has turned to May and Memorial Day Weekend is quickly approaching, events and activities are really beginning to pick up at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches.

We have a nice selection of outdoor events to tell you about this week, headlined by the 2023 opening of the one and only Funland Amusement Park on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk.

Take mom out to lunch this Sunday to celebrate her special day and then head on over to the "Nation's Summer Capital" for some family-friendly fun on the Boards.

But while the Funland opening is our headliner for this weekend, there are plenty of other options for everyone throughout Delaware and Maryland.

Keep scrolling below for our favorite events and festivals over the long weekend of May 12-14 at the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
