Here's What's Happening This Weekend in Coastal Delaware
With all the great events that took place last weekend in coastal Delaware, it’s safe to say that the 2016 season is now upon us – at least the so-called “shoulder season” that we experience here at the Delaware beaches every April and early May.
That continues this weekend with more fun-filled local happenings and gatherings. And if you live here year-round, this is a great time of year to get out and enjoy some enjoyable local activities before the high season really kicks off in high gear about a month from now.
Speaking of that 2016 high season, we’re anticipating another great summer here at the Delaware beaches. Activity is already beginning to pick up in earnest along the Boardwalk and Rehoboth Avenue, with businesses re-opening for the year, deliveries being made and more vehicles filling the streets.
And speaking of vehicles, don’t forget to check that parking meter schedule if you’re planning a day trip to the beach sometime soon – they’ll be turned on for the season in the next few weeks, depending on what town you plan on visiting.
But for this weekend, check out the festivals and gatherings we’ve highlighted below and enjoy this springtime weather here in beautiful coastal Delaware.
Here are our favorites for the weekend of April 29-May 1:
Doodles in Dewey (April 30): This is the 11th year for this popular event that brings together “Doodles” and their owners for a fun time at the beach. Also called Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, this event features the breed of dog that is a cross between Labrador retrievers or golden retrievers and standard poodles. The festivities will officially begin at 9:30 a.m. Saturday on the beach, but there’s also an informal “Yappy Hour” planned for the Starboard in Dewey Beach on Friday night. If you’d like to participate with your “Doodle,” visit www.doodlesindewey.com for more information.
