New Drive-In Theater, Home Expo, Fireworks Shows Coming This Weekend to the Coastal Region
We’re several weeks now into the Summer of 2020 and we hope everyone is making the most of their time in the beautiful coastal regions of Delaware and Maryland.
We’re very blessed to live in an area that’s bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and features so many incredible natural wonders. And restrictions or no restrictions, those places are always going to be here for our enjoyment.
As far as local events and happenings go, we’re got some great things to tell you about this week. So if you’re looking for something fun to do over the next few days, keep reading below for a half dozen fun and family friendly options.
From a brand new way to watch your favorite films to a fun online contest by the local gem that is Funland, there are many choices this week for having a good time at the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
And don’t forget the beach itself, as well as the boardwalk. Just remember to follow appropriate guidelines and adhere to social distancing requirements.
