The Horseshoe Crab and Shorebird Festival took place at Milton Memorial Park and the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge June 28, when the attendees were treated to nature and craft vendors, food trucks and a petting zoo. Shuttles took visitors from downtown Milton to Prime Hook, where refuge staff provided a nature experience.
The annual festival celebrates the annual spring migration and spawning of horseshoe crabs along Delaware Bay.
The festival was postponed from its original May date due to inclement weather. It was canceled completely last year.
