A Half Dozen Fantastic Fall Festivals Scheduled For This Weekend in the Coastal Region

The 2019 fall festival season continues this weekend with a half dozen events that we think you’re definitely going to want to check out here in the coastal region.

The weekend’s calendar is as eclectic as it comes, with huge fall events in several of the region’s favorite beach resorts. From Ocean City all the way north to Milford, this is a great few days to get outside and enjoy all that Delaware and Maryland’s coastal region has to offer.

Now, on to the events we’re featuring for the weekend of September 13-15 at the Delaware and Maryland beaches. We begin in Milford and one of the biggest events of the fall…

Riverwalk Freedom Festival (September 14). One of the biggest events of September is planned for this Saturday, September 14, just a short drive from the Delaware beaches in the city of Milford.

The 2019 Riverwalk Freedom Festival, enjoying its 19th year, is one of the larger outdoor festivals of the fall season and is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Milford.

It’s scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., with planned activities that include food trucks, a pet parade, a beer garden, a car show, live bands and a fireworks display at dusk.
